Dominoes Classic Board Game

EDIT: the ads in this game are definitely not as intrusive. That is a plus. I have emailed the Dev about the fact that the stats keep getting reset. I knew when the game took a long time to start up that it lost the stats once again. Now my player name is Sarah for some reason with the reset. My version is at 1.0.24# and the bug still exists. Please fix the tap and play option. Even though I don't have the slider set for tap and play if I touch one of my tiles and move it just slightly it'll jump onto the board. I love the look and play of this game. I have played it frequently. There has always been a small constant ad playing at the bottom of the screen, then every few hands it would go to a full page ad that you could close out immediately. Unfortunately now it frequently goes to a full page ad with many of them 15 seconds long that you can't close out until you watch it. Maybe I don't want to watch some shooter killing a deer for 15 seconds or some game ad suggesting that you can win a ton of money. How about mentioning the fact that most of the players will lose money? This is what the game has become. There is no option to pay for the game to remove the ads. I will need to find an alternative. Bug fix 1.0.17# wiped clean all of my stats. This has happened on a prior occasion also. I have never had another game do that. Maybe stats are not important to the dev.

Overall a great game but Hard Mode 4 player still has scoring issues. It awards the winner their partners pips less the opponents pips if the partner has more pips than the opponents. Also there is an occasional but regular lockup at the beginning of games. When the Dominos are dealt and I am the first player it will not allow me to play any dominoes. Menu options work but cannot play first domino. Have to quit the game completely and restart it. It starts a new game with someone else starting and works fine. Last thing where do we get 42? I don’t see it available anywhere.

I’ve tried almost every other app and they either make mistakes or have frustrating glitches. This one has simple graphics yet plays perfectly. On Hard setting it makes for a challenging opponent with smart gameplay, a good selection of options for different domino rules, and ads that are unobtrusive. I would pay for this game. I do have minor quibbles that don’t detract greatly from enjoyment: one, I would prefer the dominos to be perhaps smaller when initially played so that they don’t move around constantly while adjusting to additions, two, I dislike seeing doubles played parallel to other tiles when they are at the edge of the board, and, three, for some strange reason this app alone all of my apps suddenly flips upside down unless my iPad is almost completely vertical.
