### 5/5 — If you are a fan of Kingdom Come Deliverance. This is what you’re looking for.

*2026-02-22*

If you are a fan of Kingdom Come Deliverance. This is what you’re looking for. The developer keeps making updates. And yes you can earn and buy cheat dice, just like KCD2. You still can’t jump up after a loss and stab someone for cheating though. Unless you’re paying pass and play style. That was just added!!!

### 3/5 — Good but with a major bug

*2026-01-21*

Update: ugh, now that I'm playing longer games (6000-10000 points), the bug is happening every other game! Tempted to lower this to 2 stars. Obviously it wasn't tested enough before releasing.

Overall the game is a fun take on farkle.  Music and the opponent comments get annoyingly repetitive though. But the worst part is that every so often, the opponent doesn't make a selection, which essentially freezes the game!  You can still interact with it, but the game doesn't progress, so you have to abandon the match.  I was 400 away from winning a 6000 point match when this happened - so annoying!  That was the third time this has happened to me (update - it's now happened 4x).  It also sometimes displays a message saying I'm about to abandon the game - the same message it shows after you tap the Abandon button then the "Go back" button (which doesn't make sense - I hit Go Back, so I'm obviously not going to abandon the game - in fact that message stays there even when you continue playing!).
If this bug is fixed, an option to turn off the commentary is added, and more songs are added, then this would be a 5 star game.

### 5/5 — JCBP

Hopefully a pass and play multiplayer mode will be added.

**Developer response:** Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Pass-n-play has been added to 1.0.5 and can be accessed from the game selection screen.
