Pickomino - the dice game by Reiner Knizia

An appetizingly addictive dice game for up to 4 gambling gobblers. Barbecued worms are in high demand, and only the coolest-headed chicken can win the tasty snack! But beware: Anyone who doesn't manage to grab a worm off the grill can help himself to those on his opponents' plates! In Reiner Knizia’s popular dice game, 16 barbecue worm portions with different values are waiting on the grill to be snatched up by the dice-throwing chickens. The rules are simple, but don’t push your luck too far: To get your claws into one of the delicious worms, you roll all 8 dice at the same time. You then pick a value from your throw and remove all the dice showing the same value, before throwing the remaining dice again. If your score corresponds to an available barbecue worm portion on the grill you can take this portion - or maybe even grab a portion from the plate of your fellow players! You’ll need both the luck of the dice and the right strategy: Stick with your score, or roll the dice just one more time to get a better portion. The player with the most worms in his claws at the end of the game wins!

Fun
darknightkcmo

Great tutorial, took 5 minutes. Easy to learn, fun to play, cute animations and artwork. Peppy music. Only wish there were more modes for single player. There are 6 ai opponents. I wish there were matches, like best of 5, or maybe a mode to see how many games you can win in a row, stuff like that, giving you a reason to come back and play.


Broken
zebracadabra

Broken, please fix. AI games I never started, strange happenings in multiplayer, don't these things get checked before release? Omg.


AI too good
Karen in Cincinnati

In the games I have played so far the AI crushes me every time. They always steal my tile, never fail to acquire a tile and never make a bad roll. What's up??!!


Buggy

This game has potential but needs a lot of work - at first we couldn't get online games to even work (the invited player couldn't join - solved that by joining the game through the new game window) and then it commonly has an off by one error on selecting tiles (particularly around gaps in the tile layout. and doesn't allowing selecting legal tiles. We've also seen it show a player take the tile and leave the tile in the top row. Finally, to switch between games you have to exit all the way out to the lobby. These bugs make the game nearly unplayable without a great deal of frustration


Buggy - Unplayable
Mistress of the Dork

Despite repeated attempts and iPad restarts, the game play won't load. I can get to the title screen, but once you click to start game play it freezes while loading making the game unplayable. Very disappointing.


WARNING: Crashes every time I select ‘Lobby'
DJLanglois

The game is very fun. I played the tutorial and a couple of offline games, and I was immediately hooked. But the interface and/or online infrastructure is plain broken. The game crashes/quits when starting new online games and/or trying to access the lobby. Brutal. Until/unless they update the app and fix it, it’s just a wasted dollar.


Cute game
Andy B-Man

Fun game that's mostly luck, but I can't seem to beat the AI usually. They just get better rolls then I do ?


Fun filler
Loganeer

Well done app. Doesn't crash. Press your luck style game with character.


Fun but very buggy
jstudio

Lots of weird bugs

Quite buggy. Will often not allow players to stop and grab tile even when enough points are showing.
