Us gustaba mucho ms el que us quitaron . Este es mucho diferente …
We love the game of Parchisi. So many apps out there but this one beats them all. Love the two dice effect of the game, love how they roll across the board just like they do in real life! If you like parchisi, then this app is a must! Thank you for this creation!
Our 2nd review not much better than the last one. Fun game to play as long as you dont mind loosing most of the games. Computer has been programmed to cheat. Have seen doubles 3-4 times with no penalty. But we have found a way to win 7 times out of 10. Do not waste your time on this game. The computer controls the human player, by not allowing you to move the pawn you want to. It totally controls the game.
Its a fun game but frustrating. Winning teams keep getting doubles, so there is no way to catch up. No skill at all herejust the algorithm of how their dice rolls.
Hate it since we cant control our partners move since they are done automatically. When the partner has other moves to make too frequently it chooses to send our disc back home. Not a good partner move. Would like the option to control back.
Please go back to letting humans roll their own dice.
Why remove our ability to CHOOSE automatic pawn moves? To just say it was not fun is not fair to players who enjoy this. Why not leave it as the players choice? Also the new pawn eating sound you describe as being more friendly sounds to us like someone being slapped in the face. How is that friendly? These are NOT improvements! Please restore these two features from the previous version.
Incredible graphics, nice suite of options. We’ve played them all and this is the best! The cost is ridiculously cheap for what you get. Kudos to the author. Great job on programming this app! Some reviewers have noted that the dice rolls favor the CPU players but we have not noticed that at all. Our nine year old child and we can routinely beat the CPU players (about 2 out of 3 times). We have not seen any weird dice roll patterns, such as rolling a one 10 times in a row. Also, some reviewers, including myself, have noted in the past that the game does not appear to behave correctly, but since then we’ve read various sets of rules online and realized that parcheesi rules vary quite a bit, by geography and tradition. Some variations are: – whether you must play your entire dice roll or can play just one of the two dice rolls. – whether pieces with two different colors can ever occupy the same space. – whether the bonus moves of 10 and 20 steps must be taken immediately upon earning them or at the end of the turn. – whether two pieces occupying the same spot (i.e., a block) can move to another spot and form another block. There are other differences in rules Im not remembering at the moment. As far as we can tell, this app has no obvious bugs that we’ve seen in other free versions of parcheesi. For example, in one free app (not this app), we’ve had a piece move past the entrance to its home (nest) and go around the board a second time! Anyhow, this is overall an EXCELLENT APP, very fun to play. Here are the overall pros and cons: Pros: – the most attractive board design – awesome dice rolling 3D graphics – cool sound effects – ability to play with any combination of human and computer players – customizable colors and speed of graphics – no annoying ads – very cheap Cons: – the instructions in English read a bit poorly and could use some editing by a native speaker. (These two are very minor criticisms): – the speed at which captured pieces return home is a bit fast, so if you dont pay attention you might not easily remember what just happened – Im not crazy about the gunshot sound effect for capturing a piece. Kinda funny for adults but we play this with a young child and would prefer something else we love this app! And no, we have not been paid for this review and we do not know the programmer.
Played this lots of times. The AI plays by the rules you choose in the settings. Several variations. We seem to win more than lose. The dice rolls seem random enough. Occasionally, we get three doubles sending a piece back, but it happens to the computer opponent as well. No evidence at all that the rolls favor the AI. In fact, it might place its pieces in danger spots more often than it should. When playing the computer, make the colors be at opposite corners. Try different rules to find the settings you like best. Overall, Im glad to have this game.
Awesome game design. We wish the die roll was truly random. It is impossible for it to be random, or we’re the unluckiest person alive. It’s absolutely astounding how the bots get such "lucky" rolls at least 75% of the time to either take an opponent out or hit the safe spots. The only way to win is to control two cooperatively against two individual bots. Even playing this way we still lose 25% of the time, but at least it is fun. So we give it three stars for playing in this way. If we could only control one player we would only give one star. Game designers – please fix this. Make the rolls truly random. We submitted this review a couple of years ago and they still have not fixed it. They probably think its funny.
While we see that this program has been built with the Unity platform there are a few annoying bugs to report. First, the first set of doubles only allows the face value to be used; there after doubles work correctly (probably some initialization problem). Second, at times the roll freezes and the only solution is to pause and re-enter hoping it will work again – to mixed results. At one point on re-entry the game enabled the AI to play the other two nests and the AI started blocking our play. Last, at times it will not allow the movement of a piece (that should be able to move) and force the movement of other pieces farther back – it isnt at all clear why this would be. If you like pass and play between humans it has the capability to be fun but the bugs need resolved. We see this game has been out for three months so perhaps it is due for an update to address the newer versions of IOS that have come out in that time. Please make sure you are testing on an IPad Pro as that is more pervasive in the marketplace now. Thank you for your talent in making such a game!
We like the new look and animations and that you can now move your piece onto the board with a combination of 5 on the dice. Unfortunately, the game has become tedious and frustrating because the rolls are not even close to being random. Almost every time we move our piece past one of the other auto players pieces, we get jumped. The game is no longer any fun at all due to this frustration.
Cant quit after one computer player wins. Have to throw die for a player selected as cpu player. Liked the old, plain vanilla better. Deleting this game.
Enjoy the game and could really be fun, but it cheats like crazy. Always rolls exactly the number to capture our piece. However, today our piece was too moves away. Computer rolled a 10 and STILL captured our piece. We dont understand why someone would design a game that does this. Too bad. Would have been a favorite.
Our iPad just updated this game to the new version. This is not Parchis HD, but another version (by a different developer?). We dislike it, but it’s still better than the other Parcheesi games in the App Store. The older game was very nice, very elegantly designed and with good options and game play. This version has different graphics, different dice rolls, different play options, and it’s slow. We wish we could revert to the old version, but apparently that isn’t possible. Some suggestions for Sr Quiles: restore automatic dice rolling for non-AI players, or make that an option; make an option to have the old player messages instead of annoying noises. If you restore them by option, you could English, Spanish, and whatever addition languages you might think necessary. We’re getting used to the new graphics, although we think the old plainer ones more esthetically pleasant. I’d rather be able to turn off the new sound effects, while keeping the dice roll and movement noises. And it is really tiresome to have to keep touching the screen to make the dice roll. The older version was better. Also, the correct name was "Parchis HD", not "Parchessi". IF you want the English spelling, it’s Parcheesi, or Parchisi.
Since the update, game is slow and stutters. Will be uninstalling if not fixed.
Chips jumping over blockades? Chips come out of home without a solid 5? Moves a very slow. Prefer version before this update!
There was an update in December 2018 and it got rid of the automatic dice roll setting, the game goes slower and there is still no way to mute sounds.
This new version is going to take some time getting use to. The only big negative we have because we dont see how to change it is if we roll a 4 and a 1 it will make it a 5 automatically and move a pawn out of start. Game also moves a lot slower too.
We have enjoyed playing this game (even though the AI cheats) for a long time. We went in today to play a game and found that it has been "upgraded". It is terrible! Now you can’t see the dice so it’s harder to figure out what move(s) to make. The indicator telling whose move it is has been removed and the worst change is that it the game play is SLOW! A game that used to take 15-20 minutes now takes twice as long. We won’t be playing it again until you change it back.
This was great until the update. This was our perfect game we would play before going to bed. Now the rules are different and game play is choppy. Change it back please. We didnt even mind that the CPU has an advantage.
We love that it’s just straight Parchisi. No in app purchases or bells and whistles that change the original game. Lots of fun!
This is a very fun game. Will give hours of fun.
Love this app. It’s great for playing with others and against the AI. The computer does seem to play a sneakier game than I’d expect (blocking us to it’s own detriment) and has very lucky rolls quite frequently but we enjoy the challenge. Our one suggestion would be to offer a mute option on the game. Sometimes you don’t want the game sound, would prefer to only hear a tv show or music.
This game would be great if a random roll of the dice didn’t favor the computer most of the time. Make it fair.
As others have said, game clearly cheats. There is no way when playing single dice that you can roll a one 7 times in a row. Just about mathematically impossible. Yet it happens a lot in this game. Then when you need a one it has rolled as many as 35 times without getting one. Blockades are predictable and always in favor of the CPU. We set the game to start with a five. Otherwise it can roll over twenty times to get one for you while setting blockades for all the others. This would be a perfect game and better than a 5 star if only the dice rolls truly were random. We do not see the need for the programmer to be so obvious in the cheating. That said, we can still win. Sometimes.
Should be able to pawn out with a ‘5’ in total dice (in American 2 dice version), not just a single die. Cannot ‘pass’ when any dice points are still unplayed. No being able to removes a lot of the strategy of the game.
Great game. We love the board game. And, when we found this one, we were excited that you can play against the computer. So, play alone against the computer or play with friends! Great fun.
The dice rolls are obviously Not random. Makes for a crappy game where you feel like your playing with a bunch of cheaters. Rest of the game bits are great. Just need to fix the dice.
We enjoy this game with friends… But we are addictive to playing it alone ……
This is a great game! You play with two dice and you can play against the computer, family members or friends. If you love Parchessi this is the game to have.
Great game, fast paced, addictive, our girlfriend always beasts us though!
Stay true to real rule, great design.
We love this game. We must have used to play wrong. We thought if u had all your men out doubles were x 4?
Brings us right back to our childhood! Great way to unwind.
Great game. Just like playing against friends.
Muy buen juego,sobrentodo relajante y entretenido.
Hello or hey haha Anyway we just want you to update parchis Hd for ipad and make it with 6pawns each and theres some bugs to fix like when you get 6 three times you should die but some times it dosn’t and that’s anonying and one thing give us the choice when we play team when we finish we dont count 10 for our friend or temmate but just keep it a choice pleas and thank you reply to me.
(Otherwise)Well designed app. Edit: we’re not playing the game until the dev includes an undo. It can be quite unenjoyable when your intended move is misinterpreted and the game is blown. Happens too often with our apparently fat fingers :((
Great game we remembered from our youth-it taught us rules and counting (or basic math in general). We had forgotten the rules and although the game itself remembers them, they don’t give a list for you to follow. We still love it though and when can we play with friends?
Best parchisi game we have found so far but adding some options would make it more strategic and less based on luck: 1. Add ‘pass’ button so player can choose to only use one of dice thrown 2. If dice total 5 then option to get out of base available 3. Don’t make it mandatory to leave base when 5 or total of 5 thrown (allow player to use 5 on another piece even if there are still pieces in base) 4. Undo button to reverse mistakes.
