Why?
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!
Recent update destroyed it
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.

Game changes that took away the fun
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.

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

The ratings don’t match the app
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.
Dice rolling is NOT random
So infuriating to not have equal distribution of sixes. Just make it fair.
Bad
Don’t waste your time
It’s fine
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.

Love
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
I nearly love it.
This is super nostalgic for me. My family was a gaming family and before I had a car we would play simple board games at home. I owned this one, and brought it out as often as possible.
So I was very happy to find the one version of this in app form. For the most part this is the game I remember. I like the chance to tweak the look of the board and marbles, as well as the ability to really alter the other players' abilities.
The one complaint I have, and I see this was not addressed in the update, is sound. It gets to me after a bit when everything is totally silent. The die should have a sound, the marbles should make an appropriate click sound as they move around the board. Music isn't necessary, just sound basic sound. Please.
I would also add the ability for the game to play in horizon as well as portrait mode. There are times I wish to play yet have the screen angled upright on my cover but that’s I possible, the game has to be played flat on the able. Not good for my neck.

Problems
Occasionally a player just goes around the entire board without rolling the dice. Beginning of the game if you get out on 1 or 6 and have a 4 computer automatically plays forward for you, if you don’t like that move and want to replay then you lose your turn.
Waste of $2
Piece of crap game. Is not at all like the actual game of aggravation.
Very poor
Sad slow gameplay that even if it’s the computers turn you have to constantly press next to advance gameplay. Won’t go back to main menu. Die roll is definitely sided to help the computer. Extremely disappointing game and a total waste of money. I want my money back!!!
Bad Upgrade
Why addition of icon buttons? Unnecessary and bad visual change that now makes everything else (mainly dice) super small. Provide option to not display icons or go back to previous version!
Response from developer
With over 500 combinations of options users wanted a quick visual reminder without having to leave game play. Unrelated to icons, I also changed the text displays to dynamic type. This unfortunately affected the dice size. New versions fixed the dice size by removing the link between text and dice.
Does not work
First time I have ever purchased an app that crashes when you try to pay to. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still does not work. I want my money back.
Wish I could give negative stars
This game is terrible! It was good before all the updates but now the computer takes my turns often and for no reason my pieces get put back in home. I wish it would have been left alone now it just cheats. It used to be one of my favs but now I'm considering deleting it.
Game cheater
This game totally cheats. The red rolled a 8 and when all the way round to board before it stopped, then when I sent it home, it came out on a non 1 or 6 and went straight to win. Uncool
Great update
I gave the original update to Swift a pretty bad review. The recent update is back up to, and a big improvement on the older application in (?). My wife and I are back to enjoying our races to 100 wins. This is a daily game for us and it requires just the right amount of strategy and attention. The options are extensive to customize it to your taste.
Well done,John.

Addicting!
This game is addicting and I play it all the time. Only drawback is when it freezes and states "Computer thinking" and then it takes a long time for it to reset itself. Please fix this!!
