Game play is backwards

I couldn't get past the first few moves - game play is set up upside down. Unplayable.

Game cheats

If you only play the computer as I do, the game cheats. Amazing how the computer roll of the dice always come up with the number needed to knock you off or win the game with amazing double roll of the dice. Not any different than playing poker in Vegas. The house will always win. Otherwise a fun game.

Ads Make Free Version Unusable

I just installed it, and was assaulted with a distracting flashing ad banner. I deleted it right away. I can’t stand even testing it to see if I’m willing to pay for a premium version.
