About this game

If you play more than one of my Ancient Games, I suggest you delete the individual apps and install the main one (Ancient Games). It will allow you to play them all and save disk storage.

The past is full of fascinating board games that haves been mostly forgotten. The Ancient Games collection aims to resurrect them as a meticulously crafted mix between what a player wants from an historical game and what he/she expects of a modern application.

-Play against the IA, friends and random players from around the world.
-Play Online & Offline.
-Multiple collectibles : boards, game pieces, dice, nameplates, etc.
-Challenges (Fun rule variants)
-Free cloudsave across the collection : your progress in one game is available in all the others.
-Much more features to come!
-Languages : English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Russian.

Currently, the collection is comprised of four games : the Royal Game of Ur, Senet, XII Scripta and Puluc, but 40 games are in the works!
Each game will be added to the Ancient Games app and will have its own individual app as well.

Ratings and reviews

Update: It appears to be a hiccup in the ad engine display. One out of every twenty or so games seems to successfully load an ad, then things progress normally. ------- Fun enough, but after every game, I have to force close the app. The words "Game Over" appear, then fade out. Then the blank background image is the only thing shown until force closed.

The app is designed well and the game is interesting, and frustrating, as a lead can fall apart with a few good rolls of the dice. I'm subtracting a star because the advertisement after each game begins to be quite annoying. It's worth noting that if you play the game enough, there is a feature to remove the ads but it will take a long time to unlock it. Unless you spend cash to unlock it.

At first I loved this but as I play more and more it is getting very frustrating. In the last time games the AI has been getting an inoridinate number of 4. Theoretically the 4 and 0 should come up the same but lately the AI doubles the 4 I role (last 3 for 1 and time before 4 for 2 - and that was 2 in the first three rolls and the other was a 3). It is very frustrating. I realize you need to cheat to make it competitive, but como on we need a fighting chance.
