User reviews

Computer continues to defy rules of probability

Computer conveniently got six ones in a row, checked odds = 2.1 Billion to one.

Questionable

At first I disagreed with many reviews that felt the random dice rolls favored the game but after really enjoying this in the beginning, I realized I’m playing slightly differently because where I might take a chance in a real game, it seems like lately that it just gets too many perfect combinations or it land a captured piece far quicker than I ever do. I like the game and it’s fun on advanced but it’s not good when you alter your playing based on not being able to take any chances since it will land the right combo. Sorry but this has been happening too much to enjoy the app.

Low vision keyboard

On behalf of low vision users, I cannot thank you enough for taking the trouble and working hard to develop this keyboard. Now I can continue to use my favorite game.

Thank you

Gutted!

I paid for this game and quickly learned to hate it. Despite the developer trying to say otherwise, the dice rolls are totally unfair and mostly in the computers favour. Totally ruined my experience. I will make sure to avoid this developer at all costs.

Unfair

The computers dice rolls are completely and consistently unfair.I don’t understand why this is the case
