Backgammon - Lord of the Board
How does the single-player AI difficulty work in Backgammon - Lord of the Board?
The app offers beginner, medium, and expert AI levels. If you find the hard AI too challenging, medium is a good balance for casual practice without losing repeatedly.
Can I play multiplayer with a friend without sharing my location or contacts?
Yes, you can send a direct link to a friend to start a match, and the app works fine even if you decline location and contact permissions. Just be aware that opponents can see your username and profile picture, so consider using a generic avatar.
Why does the app keep asking for my email during tournament sign-up even after I logged in?
This is a known annoyance—the tournament registration requests your email again separately from your login. To avoid this, you can skip tournaments and stick to casual matches or single-player mode instead.
The app crashed twice when I tried to join a match. How can I fix this?
If the app crashes during matchmaking, try restarting the app—this usually resolves the issue. It ran smoothly on an iPhone 15 Pro after a restart, so it's likely a temporary glitch rather than a persistent bug.
How does Backgammon - Lord of the Board compare to other backgammon apps like Backgammon Plus?
Unlike some competitors, this app uses standard backgammon rules with a doubling cube and no house twists, making it more authentic. However, it lacks Google or Apple sign-in options and has more intrusive ads and in-app purchases for customization, which can feel less user-friendly.
