The optimization of the game is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent issues such as perceived cheating with dice rolls and an unbalanced experience favoring players with more in-game currency. Overall, the performance is described as weak, leading to frustration and a lack of enjoyment for long-time players.
- “One of the worst backgammon boards I've seen. A lot of dice seem rigged; when you play from a free app, you always lose. Those who have a lot of coins only get pairs, and the pairs come to you when they hit your die. Sorry for the team, but the performance is really weak. I've been playing board games for 30 years, and here I lose 25 times and win only once. Isn't it interesting?”
- “The optimization in this game is terrible. It feels like the mechanics are designed to frustrate players rather than provide a fair experience. I often find myself losing due to what seems like random number generation that favors certain players.”
- “I can't believe how poorly optimized this game is. The loading times are excessive, and the gameplay lags significantly, making it almost unplayable at times. It's disappointing because the concept is great, but the execution is lacking.”
