Game of Ur

This game was invented to play against another person, but that’s not even an option. I bought this game to play against my sister, but we can’t play it together. I’m really NOT interested in playing against the computer. Sure, it’s only 1 dollar wasted, but it’s the principle that bothers me. Why program such a game to only be played against the computer? You should at least mention this limitation in the description. I only confirmed my suspicion after sifting through the reviews. I really don’t like posting 2-star reviews, but someone else had the same complaint 2 years ago without a resolution. Fix it, and I’ll sweeten my review and give it 5-stars.

It's a pretty simple game, easy to learn and easy to wile away some time. It doesn't drain the battery much, either, which is nice. Easy difficulty is very easy, Medium is alright, Hard is extremely frustrating. It is very obvious that the computer's rolls are rigged. Once you move a piece one step outside of your staging area, if the computer had any pieces inside their staging area there is an 80% chance they will capture your piece, even if it requires two rolls to do it. Any time any of my pieces were within 4 steps ahead of the Hard AI's pieces it is almost guaranteed that piece will be captured immediately. Every win I have had against the Hard AI has felt like the game had just decided to give me a pity-win and never lets the Hard AI return their last piece.

The built is perfect and nice. If add multiplayer on same device or even better is through LAN would make it perfect. I am not expecting an online version though.
