Love it

Great game. I love the board game. And, when I found this one, I was excited that you can play against the computer. So, play alone against the computer or play with friends! Great fun.

Weighted dice

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.

UPDATE: I've played many more games since my original review and I'm more convinced that the game cheats when played against the computer. For example, if I move my piece 2 spaces in front of an AI piece, the AI piece will roll a 2 and jump me the majority of the time. If I get within jumping distance of an AI piece, it will almost always get a big enough roll to move far away from me, or get just enough to move to a safe try space. There are many more examples of this type of behavior. If the developer would simply make the dice rolls random, I'd give it 5 stars. As it is, I have to reduce my rating from 2 stars to 1. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Until they fix the painfully obvious non-random dice rolls, I don't see any reason to play.

Missing many elements of play

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!

I love that it's just straight Parchisi. No in app purchases or bells and whistles that change the original game. Lots of fun!

Entertaining

PW drumgal

Fun game but cheats like crazy. Constantly "rolls" the exact number to send you home. Also,most of the time it has all it's men out very quickly and rolls such huge numbers it's around the board in 3 moves!! Too bad the developer ruins a great game with his greediness.

Suggestion for app

linzertorte

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 me to it's own detriment) and has very lucky rolls quite frequently but I enjoy the challenge. My 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.

AI Cheats

This game would be great if a random roll of the dice didn't favor the computer most of the time. Make it fair.

Fun game

This is a very fun game. Will give hours of fun.

Game cheats

Campingshadow

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. I 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. I do not see the need for the programmer to be so obvious in the cheating. That said, I can still win. Sometimes.
