Longtime fan not impressed...
JCWide
I had high hopes for this game since I am a huge fan of the Phase 10 card game. I was ready for a different kind of challenge. However, I was not impressed with this purchase. As others have already stated, the player needs to be able to have control of arrangement of the dice. It is incredibly frustrating to complete the hyper phases when you cannot keep track of what you need to obtain. Also, I like to be able to control when I play a phase and what I put down. I feel like I am just hitting roll, save a few, roll, save a few, roll without having to do any of the work. Part of the fun in the original game is the strategy of saving the right cards and combinations to complete the phases. I feel as though I am robbed of this opportunity since the computer puts the phase together for you. Please consider all of our feedback when making updates to the game!
Almost as nice as the dice game

Setting aside hyper play, this is a very nice representation of the dice game I've played for years. The dice are visually represented, you get to shake the can, and scoring is done the same way. All in all very well done. True, it's difficult to play the ultra fast version, so I don't play it. I like to think out my moves. You get used to not physically sorting out dice which I feel is kind of a crutch anyway. Like playing video poker, you can see which dice you want to keep and which you don't, and keep the appropriate ones. You don't have to line them all up to see! If I do have a minor complaint it's that it's impossible to save games. I hate coming back to a game later and getting the new game opening, and for kicks it would be nice to play a virtual opponent. But the save feature I have always felt is vital in any game app.
Very good, BUT........

Great game but scoring is incorrect, particularly for hyper10 mode between phases 7 and 9, and also when deducting points at the end for failed phases. Also, the animation slows it down. I don't need everything to do a fancy spin and what not. Speed up the animation or have option to turn off. I like to play quick. Need to increase the randomness of the roles, seems like I see the same roles over and over.
Good game with issues

I've had so much fun playing this game that I bought my husband a double set of actual dice so we could play Hyper 10 together! That being said, there are two serious frustrations with this game. 1) as others have said, not being able to sort dice into runs and sets is a drag and makes game play harder. 2) there is a real problem with Phase 6. I played 14 rounds that told me I'd failed the phase. I kept track with paper and pencil and had a successful phase every time. Please fix this. It's really frustrating. With these two problems fixed this would be a five-star game!
Tedious

I play phase 10 all the time. This version is just confusing and tedious to play. The dice land upside down and sideways so they are difficult to read. The computer decides where your wild cards go so you have no control. I think there are different versions but can't quite figure out what they are. Buy the original and save your money
Freezing problem

I like the game but every time I play it freezes or the die gets stuck in the corner. I wish that I could save my games as well, especially in the middle of the game.
Enjoyable

I took some time to figure it out but once I got the concept of it I enjoy it a lot. I love games that challenge.
