User reviews

Biased

No point in playing. The dice are not random, it is programmed to allow the the machine to get the exact dice it needs. Super frustrating at the top level. Am deleting.

Adverts are too disruptive

I have annoyed playing this app for over 15 years, but suddenly the whole screen is disrupted by a very intrusive advert which seems impossible to get rid of without deleting the app and reinstalling.

Rigged against player

Totally rigged to advantage the house!

“Random Roles”

The game is fun to play but on the hard level, the computer cheats. How many times does the computer need a specific role and roles just that? The computer wins the opening roles at least 75% of the time. If the computer doubles, resign immediately. The player will roll low numbers and the computer will role doubles.
