Ratings and reviews

Started off on a good note but finding it crashes at odd times, though not during a game; usually at starting or ending period. Not tried two player but as single player I noticed there's no doubling cube. Clicks aren't always intuitive to the engine if you click on a piece so it's best to drag the first move to it's destination so the second one will automatically go to the correct place when you click or drag on it. Okay for a few games but doesn't chart any history ...but, hey, few ads!

It really, really feels like the dice are rigged against the player. I needed to roll a 3, 4, or 6 to get a piece out (only had one piece out). After 11 rolls, I had no legal moves. After the 11th roll, I finally rolled a 3 and 1, but immedietly after had the piece put back out... Never got a 4, 5, or 6, for the rest of the game... This was like 20 rolls... AI plays perfectly and gets perfect rolls. 90% sure it's very rigged.

I played this as a child or tried to. I came across it and decided I wanted to learn to play again. This game is challenging, and it pushes me to keep going.
