Glitch

Can someone tell please explain how on several occasions I have ended up with 16 counters? Also it’s seems very strange how the dice lands when the odds should be against the app!!!

Auto finish

Might be good to have an auto finish when both sides are clear of each other.

Very basic!

Not for pro players!

Beware the Diceman

Generally OK but the AI dice rolls are VERY biased!! If it needs a three and a five….three and five it gets!! Only one specific number required to knock your counter out of the game? Lo and behold it pretty much always gets it!! Would a double shift the balance from your winning position to its advantage?? Well…need I go on?? It doesn’t ALWAYS happen but often enough to make you question the fairness of it all!! Otherwise look nice, not too many ads and good sound effects!! Just don’t always expect a fair fight!!
