Such an amazingly engaging game

Not the best AI but I play to minimise it’s score - best game so far is 11points… 😀

Truly a game that has passed the test of time with millennia or game play so far.
When the last of us are playing a game this will be it - a few stones and the board scratched in the dirt is all they’d need - I am happy to play this version for now though!

Brilliant App

Must be the best 99p I have ever spent. The analog version costs £100 from the British Museum. This is just great. Thank you dev. Put the price up! A truly great game.

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it.

Perfectly done, awesome game!

First off, thanks, developer, for pricing this so fairly as a premium game with no ads or IAP. I heartily support developers like you who do that right.

The game plays awesome! The rolls are fair. The graphics are good. The interface is intuitive. The rules were simple to learn.

Thank you for giving me a great new (very old, LOL) game to play while I’m having coffee or taking a break.
