Problems
Fri Jan 04 2019 gdm61Occasionally 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.
I nearly love it.
Fri May 03 2019 MrjombiThis 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.
It’s fine
Sun Oct 11 2020 Make His Praise GloriousI 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.
Suggestions
Sun Jul 07 2024 RGIII1411Aggravate 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
Sat Apr 01 2023 AriTheMilaniThis 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.
Very poor
Sun Dec 31 2017 Jaws200457Sad 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!!!
Nice
Fri Nov 01 2024 Foxie LeeThis is a fun game to play and is worth buying. This developer really cares about making it better. Thanks for the update.
Bad Upgrade
Wed Oct 04 2017 TGC11Why 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!
Bad

Dice rolling is NOT random
Wed Apr 27 2022 Julisa999999So infuriating to not have equal distribution of sixes. Just make it fair.
