Tawla (Backgammon game - Arabian Style) App Reviews

Does not work anymore since the last update

I have really enjoyed the "fairness" of this game. I have 2 other games and they seem to roll what they need to win. This one gives you a fair decent challenge. It is relaxing and easy to play.

The game is very Realistic with a beautiful middle eastern design, but the dice animation slows down the game, there is no doubling cube, and even on the hardest setting the game algorithm isnt very cleaver.

Buggy, moving either in the picking or sliding mode is an absurd chore, nearly broke my iPad in frustration. No doubling, the interface doesnt work very well and there were a few times that the dice wouldnt stop "rolling". Two stars because the board looks nice and it doesnt "cheat" as so many other apps do. Very, very frustrating and not worth the money.

No doubling cube. Game plays poorly. Wish I could return it. A real disappointment. Had the game set to hard and it would not take its own pieces off of the board. Something is wrong with the logic.

Good game if it did not freeze as consistently as it does. Emailed support. Will see how this gets handled.

Game has a tendency to freeze. Very annoying.

Given that the Free version, give you only one difficulty option which is "Easy" I had to buy the game to find out that the most difficult option is as good as the Easy one. Giving the great design, suggest that the developer find a way to update this game, with a "real" difficulty options , for which Im sure will attract more customers to buy it. Thanks

The logic seems to have bugs, or I dont know the rules. Were told its the Arabian or the Turkish version, but theres no rule help! Please send some time testing, add a help screen, and make the graphics effort worthwhile.

I really enjoy this app. There is no cheating like others I have played. It freezes sometimes. Beautiful board.

I bought this game for my mom. Shes been playing it regularly and really likes it. I recently tried it and got hooked. Good play enhanced by beautiful graphics. I recommend it.

it gets stuck all the time! Computer makes lots of mistakes. This makes the game unchallenging. No doubling.

Even if the hard is selected, computer makes silly mistakes toward the end by wrong movements and idiotic collection of the pieces. Next : when the end of the game is approaching and one party has no chance to win, the game must end. It is frustrating to continue all the way to the end to complete the game. Next: Dragging the piece movements are not sensitive enough although tapping works OK. Next: the opening of the program then opening of the game board takes toooo much time. There should be a by-pass way to go straight to the game board. Next: every time the game opens, the level of the game shows easy. Those setting should be saved at every game exit. Next: After two updates, the program got much better, but still not attracting enough to play due to these malfunctions. If the developers know nhow to play this Tawla properly, they should be able to fix and correct these. Good luck guys. Make it challenging and fun to play You may even get some advice from Tawla master players in Egypt.

Love this game and love the app!

Very realistic and nice to hear the sound of the dice...

Love it

Needs a doubling cube to end games quick. Difficulty settings seem to only marginally improve play.

I love this game. Sometimes predictable, but still fun!

Very nice board game. Very good graphics and nice touch. I like the board design, looks like my real one. Again, this is nicely done and sure worth your investment.

I like the design and how you roll the dices. My recommendation is for fullscreen.
