Beautiful game

The game is wonderful. Completely free with ads of course but thatโ€™s no issue. The game does get very rigged towards the computer towards end game. Other than that zero complaints.

Nice collection of different challenges and board designs.

I hope you havenโ€™t abandoned the game. Whenever I try to access the store I get stuck with the rotating snake and it just doesnโ€™t load the store. It would feel good to unlock stuff as Iโ€™m rather charmed by the thematic and seasonal boards and the concept of playing senet and puluc on a board literally made of lava is cool. Please donโ€™t stop development of this charming App.

Crazy adds

Adds blast music and sound even if you have it turned off. And they are very long to just play another game. Makes me move on to something else. But the game is fun, I canโ€™t find any ways to earn credits yet either there is no way or itโ€™s too complicated. But I would like to unlock some stuff.

The game is fun until it isnโ€™t

5 stars for reviving ancient games but -2 stars for non-random throws of the dice and for the use of the number zero for societies that didnโ€™t know it existed.

The most frustrating part of this game is when youโ€™ll have your final piece one move away but then the game decides youโ€™ve won too many times and it will never let you roll the number you need while let the PC player run a series of moves that lets it win.

The game needs to use actual random dice and remove the number 0.
