| 2024-11-18 |  | | It let's me win every game for a month then I lose every game for a month. It's obvious by the dice rolls this game is in fact being artificially controlled you cannot win a legitimate game and you cannot lose a legitimate game. I like the sport of playing a fair game. It's got where I can predict when I will lose and when I will win. I am building my own boards so I can play a fair game against a real opponent. I have already built 12 scripta. The results of a real game are much different... |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | India knows how to deliver board games! I am yet to understand why we don't play Game of Ar anymore as it is exhilarating, fast paced and full of tension! What's good with this is that you can play on boards that would have existed in the period. I loved it so much that I actually made a wooden board with clay counters x |
| 2024-08-04 |  | | Forget it. I spent $ to remove ads (I thought) but it's only for one version, you have to pay to remove ads for EVERY version. And like other similar games of chance (Backgammon etc) it is rigged highly in favor of the computer. Odds of rolls are completely unrealistic. I downgraded my rating from 3*** to 1*. The free version's ok but ridiculously long ads between EVERY game. |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | Very clean style and fun games. I've noticed a few bugs including: All set previews' name being replaced by "amphrodisias set" after one game or two, whilst not showing properly the models. And sometimes the game doesn't recognizing victory/lose resulting in a bugged infinite game that can't exit via the abandon buttom. The shop UI could also use more directions and clean up |
| 2024-03-30 |  | | This app has all the charm of a one person passion project. It's got simple clean mechanics for the board games, and let's you play ad free, only keeping aesthetic features behind a wall. Even then it's reasonable. As a senet and ur enthusiast for years I haven't found a better app to play them yet. |
| 2024-02-07 |  | | Excellent collection of old games. The only downside is that the menu and unlock system can be a little confusing. The difference between keys and coins and tokens still eludes me. That being said, online play is quite useful - I have some friends who play and this has been lovely when we are apart. However, it is otherwise empty - setting up these games with my friends is the only time I've ever seen other players online. |
| 2023-12-05 |  | | I've been a fan of this game since yall started with Ur. It has been great! The additions have been great! It's pushed me to learn more about the games and their place in history. This may be too far but the controls for Puluc seem wonky. May I suggest a forward and back option button to replace the swipe forward? I play on my phone and maybe it is me..but it'd be cool to have a simpler control. Thank ya'll for reading this. You're great! |
| 2023-11-15 |  | | Fantastic atmosphere of game play. Edit: paid for full version and went to play "challenges". None of the challenges work - Birth of Ra, Wrath of Enlil etc etc... don't work. Once you select them, the screen goes black. Developer, please fix. Also, I'm still getting Ads after paying for the full version. |
| 2023-11-08 |  | | Hi, I used all three dice rules. In Senet, Normalized seemed to work the best. It was the only game with what I'd call bad behavior. With a bit more balance from the rule change it's become my second favorite. Ur beats it just because it can we a quicker game to play. All in all, it's a great little pack and I'm changing my rating. |
| 2023-09-05 |  | | Hey developer, I love the addition of Puluc! There's a strange bug, however, when the computer rolls two 5s in a row at the start of the game. Their first piece goes to the middle space and then into my home base. The first time it happened the piece eventually came out when I had captured all of their other pieces. The second time it happened, the piece disappeared completely and I only won once I somehow captured the invisible piece. |
