User reviews

Very fun

Great game

The worst program for gambling.

It gives only unwanted numbers to user and only the most wanted numbers to computer. So, you dont have any chance to win.
Its waste if time to download this application.

Ok game

Dice rolls are very unfair. Ai always rolls what is needed to win or land on unprotected stones.

Not random rolls

I was enjoying this game on the Medium level, but once I stepped up to the Hard level it became apparent that the rolls were not random. The AI gets the roll it needs WAY too often. I don’t understand why game designers think this makes the game more enjoyable-it doesn’t. It just makes it more frustrating, causing me to delete the app. This means I won’t be watching any more of the ads. Fairly counterproductive, in my opinion.

Uses a nonrandom number generator function

Be prepared for this app to 'cheat' on the "expert" level through non-random dice-rolling output, both for itself as well as the opponent (you) - not just occasionally, but consistently. It's an intensely well-done, fun (and simultaneously irritating) app.
