Single player only—really??
This game was invented to play against another person, but that’s not even an option. I bought this game to play against my sister, but we can’t play it together. I’m really NOT interested in playing against the computer. Sure, it’s only 1 dollar wasted, but it’s the principle that bothers me. Why program such a game to only be played against the computer? You should at least mention this limitation in the description. I only confirmed my suspicion after sifting through the reviews. I really don’t like posting 2-star reviews, but someone else had the same complaint 2 years ago without a resolution. Fix it, and I’ll sweeten my review and give it 5-stars.

Sorry if you are disappointed. We can work on a refund if you wish. Multiplayer support has been on my wish list since I wrote the app, even though I personally would never use it.
Pretty fun, but the Hard AI gets god-tier luck
It's a pretty simple game, easy to learn and easy to wile away some time. It doesn't drain the battery much, either, which is nice.
Easy difficulty is very easy, Medium is alright, Hard is extremely frustrating. It is very obvious that the computer's rolls are rigged. Once you move a piece one step outside of your staging area, if the computer had any pieces inside their staging area there is an 80% chance they will capture your piece, even if it requires two rolls to do it.
Any time any of my pieces were within 4 steps ahead of the Hard AI's pieces it is almost guaranteed that piece will be captured immediately. Every win I have had against the Hard AI has felt like the game had just decided to give me a pity-win and never lets the Hard AI return their last piece.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the rolls are completely random, and the AI does not cheat in any way. I am planning an even harder level.
Very Promising
Fell in love with this game a few years ago but have yet to find anywhere online to play obviously I’ve only found one other app to play but it’s mediocre at best. I LOVE this app. I consider myself an ok player but as it is now since I’ve had this app for a year or so the score is app=5 Me=37. If I needed to complain it’s just a little easy and frustrating to win almost every time. Maybe I am that good hahaa. The app is incredible though. Hats off to whomever in charge of that!!!

Thanks for the review! I agree that even at the hard level, I can win too often. I plan on updating with an even harder level and online play.
no PvP
No Player vs Player, just Player vs AI, and it isnt a proper IA, it is basically a choice that when you face a hard AI you’ll never see a 4.
What a great game.
I've read the history of the game, and this has helped me to learn the strategies. It's a flawless translation.
The one thing I'd like to see is a way to reset the statistics. I played it on easy for 15 games and won them all, but it's retained that ratio when playing on a more difficult setting.
Edit: the developer got back to me and is looking in to inproving scoring. Which is cool. I'm still playing it, have refined my strategies and it's still very fun.
