Challenge your friends with this fantastic dice game inspired by the ancient Peruvian mechanics also known as Perudo. Play as one of your favorite pirates against opponents from around the world, to win your gold coins booty. Pirate's Dice is a game for 2 to 4 players whose primary scope is to guess at every round how many dice (with a certain value) are present on the table. Early in the game each participant will have 5 6-sided dice, hidden under its container so that the values are known only by the owners. On each round, players make their bets in rotation until the dice are revealed and the "defeated" player will lose one of them... the last player to have at least one die in his possession will win the game .... CHARACTERISTICS: - Large set of implemented rules with all known variants. - Single Player mode: to play offline with 1 to 3 opponents controlled by the artificial intelligence. - Multi Player mode: to challenge up to 3 of your friends on the network. - Captivating cartoon graphics and ability to customize your portrait and emoticons to chat with your friends. - Parrot's tricks (single player mode only): your parrot will look at your opponents dice, but be careful ... the tip is not always the right one! Have fun!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dice Lords at 4.5 against Pirate's Dice's 2.5. Dice Lords also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 10). Pirate's Dice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 46%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dice Lords holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice Lords has 1.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Pirate's Dice's written reviews are positive against 46% of Dice Lords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pirate's Dice ships an update every 36 months, Dice Lords every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
