The classic board game with amazing realism and physics. Throw the dice with your fingers and look at it bouncing on the board!

Play in teams of two! 

Full Screen! The design has been made to take full advantage of the screen. So you and your friends can sit comfortably around your tablet.

### 1/5 — Dice roll not random, cheating is wild

*2025-02-08, version 4.3.1*

The dice roll is truly not random. Unwinnable. 

Update: The cheating is astronomically wild.

Update: the computer dice rolls are insane! Truly not winnable.

Update: team feature highlights computer cheating even more. The moves are so funny.

### 3/5 — Rigged

*2024-09-18, version 4.3.1*

As others have said in previous reviews, this game is soooo rigged. The dice are manipulated to always have doubles. Sad, I really like to play this game.

### 3/5 — Couldn't figure this out

*2024-09-11, version 4.3.1*

Only one dice shows up. Opponents are already pace before game even begins. Not possible to win.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect!

*2024-06-26, version 4.3*

Game would be perfect if it was compatible with iPhone.

### 3/5 — The dice rolls are not balanced

*2024-04-13, version 4.3*

It’s a fun game but frustrating. Winning teams keep getting doubles, so there is no way to catch up. No skill at all here…just the algorithm of how their dice rolls.

### 4/5 — It’s really good but FYI

*2023-09-27, version 4.3*

I play this game a lot. It’s very well coded with some really good graphics and gameplay. One thing I’ll share is don’t be too disappointed if your computer opponent gets a piece home before you can. I would say in 98% of the games the computer opponent has to get 1 piece home before you can win. At least this seems to be the case since the last update. Realistic game play and lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Nice!!

*2023-02-11, version 4.2.1*

Very nice game, I like it

### 3/5 — The dice rolls are not balanced

*2022-12-09, version 4.2.1*

It’s a fun game but frustrating.  Winning teams keep getting doubles, so there is no way to catch up.  No skill at all here…just the algorithm of how their dice rolls.

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2022-09-01, version 4.2.1*

I love the game of Parchisi.  So many apps out there but this one beats them all. Love the two dice effect of the game, love how they roll across the board just like they do in real life!   If you like parchisi, then this app is a must! Thank you for this creation!

### 3/5 — Would be perfect aside from 2 major flaws

*2022-04-29, version 4.2.1*

1) seems to explicitly ignore my iPads orientation (ie rotate the board and the app orientation doesn’t change)
2) it used to play forced moves for you, now it doesn’t.   Instead of removing it, they could have made it optional.
