Dominoes: Classic Tile Games

*Update* I have played this game out to diamond level and suddenly the AI nearly always has the right tile and generally scores using them. When it does not, it only needs to draw one or two tiles and frequently scores on them. If (rarely) it has to draw multiple tiles they are magically exactly the ones it needs to beat you soundly. When you need to draw, it will be at least 3 or 4…sometimes 6 or 7…tiles and will be littered with high numbers so when (!) the AI wins it will pick up 20 to 40 points, a feat extremely rare for you. Too frustrating, I am done! Two stars because it was fun up until platinum 1! So I read that this game cheats. If it does, why the 4 star rating?Because I still like it when it is not cheating. I don’t mind losing when the AI is not so blatantly cheating. Maybe make a game setting where you can see the AI’s tiles so it can’t cheat as easily? I have been playing a while now, it can be lots of fun…and maddeningly frustrating. As another reviewer said, you can tell when you are going to lose. One clue is you have an incredible run and are up by a seemingly insurmountable lead…get ready for a historic comeback by the computer! You will not be able to make a move the AI cannot score on. Or you just had a crazy big win…next game you will not have a chance. You will win like crazy when you first get the game and when you reach gold or platinum, you ‘hand’ will rarely contain tiles that can score. The one way I found to get back to at least even dealing is to turn the game off for a while…I find after a day you will have a blowout game, then close one or two…and then back to cheatsville! It is a fun version of dominoes, I just the AI were more even.

I was raised playing dominoes. We play Muggins dominoes. You can only score by your pips adding up to increments of 5s. When you domino your opponents left over points come to you rounded off to the nearest 5. Score is kept by houses. Each house is 50 points, 200 points is game. My family came from Arkansas.. It was a great honor to be my Granny’s partner against family friends. We played double 6, partners. If you drew 3 or more spinners in a hand you returned 1 or 2 and drew again. Spinners can be a great advantage, if you know how to play or they can be a great hinderance. There is strategy in dominoes. Don’t complain if you don’t know how to play to your advantage. Causing some one to go to the boneyard is good strategy ❣️

I don’t mind almost ads as long as they don’t interfere w play, freeze up, lock the game, or last too long. The ads w this game only play 1 in btwn each round. I can handle that. What I can’t handle is this👇🏻 I’ll use Royal Match ad as example since theirs is the most intrusive. Ad begins w a video cameo, at least 5 sec long, w/o an X out option. There is a forward to end (>|) option which when pressed takes you to the next frame, “loading” of the ad (if lucky), most of the time, while waiting to load, ad locks then restarts w cameo from beginning. If it does progress, the next frame is a video example of the advertised game Royal Match, after a few sec’s of this, still no X out option, you can only >| to next frame of ad, again, if lucky, you’ll arrive a pic of the RM game add, where after 5 sec’s you’ll finally get the option to X out of the ad, YET it opens the App Store to GET the RM game. User then must click done in that frame to take them back to the pic of said ad & X out AGAIN. So, if the entire ad progresses as it should & user taps each >| option in each of its frames (5), then x twice, they will finally get out of the ad which takes 10-15 sec’s. NOT 5 as advertised by Mobility Ware. When the ad DOES NOT progress as it should, frequently the case, user will find themselves in a force quit to reload the game only to get through one round then start all over again. It’s a roll of the dice. So, ask yourself if the headache, aggregation & wasted time is worth it.
