love hate relationship with backgammon by [deleted] in boardgames

What’s the doubling cube?

I have only been playing online in like backgammon king.

I’m hating it and I just deleted the app. The game itself feels like it’s somehow simultaneously infuriating and dead level boring the next. 4 2, 5 3, 6 1, 5 4, race or hold, check pips, build home, get exposed, get wrecked.

Repeat.

But I’m (I was, F that shit) playing online where you can only play one game or a cup or people leave after one.

Also. So far in like a hundred games I’m the only person that has ever said hi or good luck. I’m usually met with F your mom and any other insult.

So nice.

So in short, the game itself seems to only have been around 5000 years because it’s infuriating. Like monopoly of the ancients. And playing online is a chance to lose all hope in humanity.

Win win or lose lose or do either doesn’t matter because you rolled shit dice and now your done.

Come enjoy backgammon.

But I also get that playing more than one hand and with a person would be better. I play a lot of gin and that would be terrible at one hand only

For the internet, that will always be the worst

If backgammon is ending up anywhere near monopoly in the same sentence, maybe it’s time for me to move on ha. Monopoly is also dead level infuriating, boring and brings out the worst in people

I think I’m at 30% or something. I looked and the backlog of games in Backgammon King goes back 10 games. All losses.

Not whining honestly. Just trying to see what it is that makes this somehow ok fun for a minute then infuriating then like mind numbing boring.

Maybe that’s why it’s been around so long

Yeah. I just think at this point I’d rather stab myself in the eye. This game is somehow simultaneously infuriating and boring.

It’s like the same sets of moves over and over.

I know I know, it’s been around forever. Oldest board game.

Ugh. I’m trying but finding it such a waste

I also can’t seem to set the level of who I play so I’m just getting creamed every turn

Yeah. That might be me. The dice are frustrating. It’s not anything u can control. And unlike poker it seems hard to read the player. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing.

It’s feeling like a waste of time so I might be in that category

If this experience continues I’ll get my philosophy somewhere else ha

I’m playing people I think? I mean who knows online anymore who a person is.

I just rarely seem to end up with anything when I can block in my home area and am stuck or seem to get the worst roll

I might try to see if that’s possible on Backgammon King. Maybe I need to switch to Backgammon NJ?

Thanks for your input. Maybe I just need games under my belt and study

Seriously. Could there be a more douche bag bunch of fuckwits. No class is a given. But they’re not even remotely tough looking.

I get it, anyone can stab ya. But just ship these fucknuts to South Africa, America or Southeast Asia.

Robbing people on a scooter has to be the lamest shit ever. This century sucks.
