## What is iAggravation?

The game iAggravation is a marble board game for 1 to 8 players.  Players can share a single device.  The objective is to advance all of your marbles around the board to your home position from the base position.  Marble movement is based on the roll of two dice.  Landing on your opponent's marble sends it back to their start position.  The player type can be human or computer.  The board style is selectable: classic, modern, beach, space or party.  The classic board is the actual board made by my grandfather years ago.  There are selectable variations: one die, two dice, playing cards, blockade, back four, corners, automatic modes and more.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-02-17*

This game used to be great. This new update is terrible and now makes the game unplayable! Please stop overthinking stuff and go back to original version!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.  The bug has been corrected and released.  I take your advice seriously to make sure new features don’t impact the original game my grandfather taught me to play.

### 1/5 — Recent update destroyed it

*2026-02-09*

This used to be a great game. There were some occasional glitches, but they didn’t happen often. With a recent update, though, it’s essentially unplayable. I play partners, two mine and two the computer. Nearly every game, at some point a computer player is unable to use a move and 1) the app attributes the unused roll to my player, 2) the app makes that move for my player, 3) the app rolls for my player, 4) the app again moves for my player, and 5) the app then rolls and moves for my player each turn until the computer player is again able to use a roll. When/if this is corrected, I’ll happily update my rating & review — again, it used to be a pretty good game. But as it is, don’t waste your time.

**Developer response:** I’m sorry I missed this bug before releasing my app.  Thank you for the detailed report.  Version 26.1.7 is now available with a fix.

### 2/5 — Game changes that took away the fun

*2026-02-06*

In a recent update, the game took away the ability to use the star path. This was what I grew up with. The original board that I remember when I grew up had six players on it and the game took that away. You can now only do six players on the party board. I’m a little disappointed with the updates. I probably won’t be playing this game much more. It really is disappointing now.

**Developer response:** I call the “star path”, corner mode.  In game setup -> game play options turn corner mode on to enable the star path.  Corner mode can be played with any board and any number of players.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-11-01*

This is a fun game to play and is worth buying. This developer really cares about making it better. Thanks for the update.

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2024-07-07*

Aggravate a marble you get to roll again

If you are on the corner you can roll a 1 or a 6 to jump in the middle

You can aggravate a marble in the in the home column but you have to roll the exact amount to get get out. Ex jump in an opponents home with a 3 and aggravate you have to get out of the opponents home with a 3

Only If you roll double 1’s or double 6’s you get to roll again

5 marbles instead of 4

Bigger board where a 1 and a 6 gets you on the corner

We play this at the firehouse, we call it marbles. It would be nice to have these options available to practice on our phones.

**Developer response:** Interesting rule changes.  We called it marbles too.  The bigger board may be too small for the iPhone screen, but may be possible on iPad.  It would be a lot of code changes.

### 5/5 — The ratings don’t match the app

*2023-04-01*

This app is working just fine and is a lot of fun.  There must have been updates since when those reviews were made.  There is nothing wrong with this app and I highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — Dice rolling is NOT random

*2022-04-27*

So infuriating to not have equal distribution of sixes.  Just make it fair.

**Developer response:** The code used to generate the random dice is Int.random(in: 1…6).  No cheating is implemented. You can track the number of dice rolled in the statistics tab.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-04-25*

Don’t waste your time

### 5/5 — It’s fine

*2020-10-11*

I think the game is fine.  We’ve only played one game, so I may have a different review later.  We played on my phone - which was too small.  I see today that I can download an older version to my iPad.  So we’ll see how that is.  One suggestion.   Our house rules are - if you don’t get out after 3 rolls you can come out on the 4th roll.  -You still roll, in case you get a 1 or 6 to roll again. - My hubs played nearly the whole game and didn’t roll a 1 or 6 until the game was nearly over.  Such a bore when you can’t play.  Be nice if that was an option.  We call it the “pity” rule.  🙄.  I bought the game because of your responses back to the previous reviewers.   I wanted to bring up the average on your stars.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  I like your “pity” rule.  I have the statistics tab just for this reason to show that the dice are fair.  I will see if this can be added.

### 5/5 — Love

*2020-04-11*

My whole family, both sides play this game.....we all live in different areas of the country.  Please fix the multiplayer button so we can play this game together during this coronavirus quarantine
