Community Insight:
The law of probability says its nearly impossible to roll the same number on the dice 5 times in a row. Theres definitely a programming glitch in there somewhere. We still play but the dice rolls are definitely not completely random. We see this over & over.
This game is great! Definitely recommend. U can play online or solo. Different skins for the dice as well. U can also choose ur own name. Once again great game.
We highly recommend this game if you are like us and you like peace and quiet yes! It has thrilling suspense and make sure you are paying attention and focus!overall.
No internet needed so realistic.
This game is very engaging and good for long term car rides or just to kill time.
We never got to play with her we were packing to come be with her when we got the call she was gone so many regrets miss you mom so so so sorry.
Yatzy is so much fun we play it all the time you can play with friends and a bot by yourself its so fun and thats super surprising because Im 13 and kid dont play board games but not us we love this one.
Hi! We play this game religiously because we had the old handheld device when we were a kid. We were wondering if youd consider offering a paid version for maybe $3-4 to remove all ads? Love the game, works perfect. Only annoying thing is the ads so Id love that option :) reposting.
We like the game a lot the only problem is that before and after every round there is an add.
The game is good. Enjoyable. Ads are ok. However it really feels like the online play is actually against bots; we highly doubt in playing real people online.
It would be great if we didnt have to sit through ads after every game.
This is the basic Yahtzee game, but better than any other apps we have tried! Simple, easy, and uncluttered! Its a great way to relax.
It says in the App Store, no ads cost $11.99. However, there is nowhere in the app to pay for no ads. And the developer will not return any emails. We have sent three in the past three months and nothing. Otherwise we would give this five stars, but given the fact that we have to sit through multiple ads in between each game and its usually the same ad for half the day over and over and over. If you have this game, we suggest deleting it if you do not have this game we suggest do not download it.
We love the game, but if you could add an option to PURCHASE it without ads that would be lovely.
You need some other games in this game:) It would be amazing.
Its pretty good. Good classic Yatzy. So Bo Bo. Yay yay.
We love the game but too many adds.
We love this game, but we made two no ad purchases yesterday and we still have ads if it werent for that, 5 stars.
This is the 1st time we have complained, but probably not the last. While playing your game (and others), we keep getting other games saying your game app is out of date and will no longer be available..so we must get the new version shown, which of course is not yours, but we arent supposed to realize that. We dont know who to report this to but maybe you do. It is happening on many different games now. For additional info, we finally downloaded one of their games. Within 5 minutes, it happened to that new updated version as well. We understand that most people know this, but we dont believe anyone is complaining about it.
The game is really good. Its enjoyable, but there are a bunch of ads.
Really fun to play but lots of ads.
We understand having ads because thats how they make money, but its really excessive.
We like how simple and easy to play this game is, not a lot of extra mini games or random stuff on the screen that other apps have that is very overwhelming. The pass to play feature is awesome, we like being able to play with someone in person. There are a ton of ads, but we found the price to get rid of the ads to be worth it. Our only gripe with this game is the bonus rolls, especially in tournaments other players can use endless bonus rolls to give us no shot at winning. We dont mind the bonus rolls feature but it would be nice if it was limited to one per turn or a few per game.
We love this game, but there are so many adds, so if there is an add blocker, we would advise you get it.
Overall we like the game, seems more real than others but question it. Either more players need to educate themselves on how to play Yatzy or the computer needs to play smarter. Some moves we have seen don't make sense.
This is the best game! Download it today.
Its a rlly great game to go with the real life version of it. We used to play this game with our grandma. We would sit for hours on end nd play Yahtzee while our grandpa was sleeping. The only this isthere are a few adds. Every time you wanna play online it gives us an add. So if yall could make it an add free game Ill be sold.
The saved bonus dice rolls dont calculate correctly when bonus rolls are added upon logon. It always miscalculates by one. Please fix and Ill change our star rating. Also the diamond bonuses are basically useless.
We would rather pay a subscription than sit through countless annoying ads. The game itself is great- but the ads are obnoxious and there is no way to get past them.
This is a fun game but lately we cant play without being forced to watch an ad.
Ads are ridiculous and out of control.
12 bucks to disable ads seems very expensive to us.
This game is addictive and somewhat entertaining BUT Im 99% sure that Im playing against bots. The opponent make the same mistakes game after game and moves much faster than a human would JMO.
It's a good game, but from the very beginning it's showing you other games it tries to trick you to download.
We feel like the game isnt so random, but its a fun game. We dont know why solo is fun, but it is our favorite mode. We enjoy playing it, but we still prefer the real game.
We love playing Yahtzee and this game is great. However we bought all the different types of dice and now we have nothing to spend our diamonds on. We wish we could use them to buy more extra dice rolls or something else thats fun like more dice or backgrounds or etc. Also everyone else is right there are so many ads and its annoying.
We paid the $11.99 for dice and 45 days of no ads. We got the dice but still have ads. And they are long ads. What a pain. Game is fun but we dont think Ill keep playing after our dice run out. We were going to upgrade to ad free but doubt it will work.
Love this game but only give it 3 stars because we have 30,000 diamonds what am we going to do with all those diamonds??? It would be nice if you could buy dice with the diamonds but you want us to pay for dice just like all the other game you have to buy something.
The game is really good by their are way to many ads.
Love the game but there are way too many ads.
Was a great game in the previous version, but they improved it and now its a three star game.
This is a good simple way to play the original yatzy game. No chatting which we love just play the game. You can play solo or against an opponent. The game however could use some updating It allows you to win diamonds BUT after you buy all the skins for the dice theres absolutely nothing you can do with the diamonds you keep winning! We suggest NOT buying diamonds and just play to win which will give you diamonds. Because in our opinion buying the diamonds are a waste of money. Definitely needs up dating there could also be another tournament that would be more challenging.
The ad cycle is relentless . Its so hard to actually get to the game, we give up.
This was a great app, until we get spammed with freaking adds anytime we want to play online.
We like the game and realize youre going to get ads for a free game. They used to be quick and easy to get through the ads but the Royal Kingdom ads are so long and annoying that we decided to delete the ap.
Yes they have it programmed to get a yatzi in 9 of 10 games. You get one 2-3 in 10 games. If you need the 35 bonus to win firget you wont get it never, but the computer again gets the bonus 9-10 times. If they dud away with the cheats it would be a fair fun game.
We just played the game, completed everything with two Yatzy rolls giving us an extra 50 points. Whats our score? We will never know, because an ad for a 3Dots game is displayed without accepting input, the only way out is to kill the app.
Just played a game, and the opposing player got four rolls each turn as opposed to our three. Explain that.
Was a great app before, despite the screen size format. Now its ads ads ads. Save your self the headache and play another Yahtzee app. YW.
So, yatzee is our favorite game, but NOT THIS ONE!!! Its rigged, and the dice rolls are staged. In the REAL YATZEE, the dice and scoring arent CONTROLLED BY A BOT. If you were thinking about getting this, DROP YOUR PHONE and go BUY THE REAL THING!!! This is NOT GOOD. And whats the point? After getting all the diamonds to get all the dice skins, theres NO POINT!!! Why would you even DO THE QUESTS?? If you are reading this, GO PLAY THE REAL PENANDPAPER YATZEE! Not this EXCUSE for a GAME! Devs, WOW. Im so disappointed in this game.
