Ratings and reviews

Other Ur apps feel "unfair" in the sense that they have levels of difficulty, which never made sense to me in a dice game of chance. This version is so simple. No levels of difficulty, no ads, stars, currency, upgrades, or other nonsense - just open and play. There is a simple strategy to the game that, if the rolls go your way, can give you an advantage against the AI. However, I have noticed the AI not making moves that would benefit it, so it can feel a bit easy to people with more Ur exp.

Nice app, nice interface. Simple and fun. Would be nice to see all of the remaining game pieces one needs to move onto the board on the side. As they are ancient/non standard dice, would be good to explain the rolling combinations in the "how to play" section.

Basic, but good. The AI is terrible and not very fun to play against. The dice UX could be improved. But it is easy to control and you have everything you need. Much better than another version of this game on the apps store. I'd give it 5 stars with a better AI.
