Cheaty McCheaterson

Medium difficulty is not quite hard enough, but hard difficulty against the AI is like playing against my uncle who cheats like a MF. AI consistently rolls higher than the player and usually gets the perfect rolls to pin you down and then make you forfeit by offering a double. AI rate of rolling doubles is way higher than that of the player. One time recently the AI rolled doubles three times in a row (a jailable offense in Monopoly). I seem to roll double 6’s most often when I have only one piece left to bear off and it’s in the 1 slot. Luckily the game lets you cheat back by letting you undo moves even after the opponent has already taken their turn. Evens the odds a bit. Ads are kind of annoying because they will play between every game and also if you leave the app for a microsecond, you’re guaranteed to watch an ad when you reopen the app

Concede option

I suggest a “Concede” option (when you know you can’t win the game, why continue? (Of course the computer should be able to do same) Also, perhaps
wins/loss stat against computer.

FIXED GAME

Disappointing To Say The Least. I’ve been using this App for a long time but have been becoming disgusted because it is obvious that the dice rolls are fixed. My last game, I had every position doubled up, had a couple pieces outside the last quarter and had just rolled double six. I went to move my pieces when the game suddenly started a commercial, once done I had lost the double six roll and ended up with a 1 and 4 roll. The game dragged out another five minutes with it obvious based on the rolls that the opponent was favored to win and did so by one piece. I’m am finally going to stop playing this App because I don’t like when the computer fixes the rolls.

Not Random

The second you leave a piece on its own the computer gets exactly the dice needed to land on you. Fix this.
