Yatzy Addict

This is such a fun game because there’s always someone to play. That being said, the game has been simply crashing lately which means you automatically lose. The biggest thing for me though is that there isn’t that much incentive too compete because as far as I know there are no leader boards, or anyway to check statistics against other players except when you see each person’s wins and losses when you play them. It would be a lot of fun if there were tournaments for instance where you would play a round robin of selected players to try to advance to the next level tournament as a weekly option. But short of that simply having a leaderboard based on winning percentage would be better than nothing. Yes it’s a game of chance and short of some people making dumb statistical choices, the playing field is pretty level even though I do agree that the days are loaded with some sort of tendencies which doesn’t bother me since I believe everyone is affected equally.

I love this game! With a few improvements, I would rate it five stars instead of four. Here's what I don't like: A dice covers a score sometimes. When someone gets 2 Yatzy's, it doesn't change the Yatzy score to 150 from 50. When the final scores are tied, it says Player 2 wins. I would like to be able to put in my own name instead of being referred to as player 1 or player 2, and other people's names if I'm playing with another human instead of the computer. I would also like to be able to see cumulative scores across games, and I would like to be able to see the other player's score sheet when it's my turn, even if I have to toggle to it if there are more than two players.

Oh I had such a good review previously but this game has gone downhill since then. Sadly that was only 2 weeks ago.. What happened? 8.4 maybe? The disconnects are unreal lately, I have not been able to stay connected for 1 single multiplayer game. My boyfriend and I don't live in the same town and playing yatzy and farkle here together when we get a little downtime is one of go to things, but lately it's caused more frustration than anything else. Almost worst than disconnects we had a game going between us and at some point he and I were seeing very different rolls and scores for each other. Sadly we have lost all confidence in the game for now. 2 stars because playing the computer seems to still work fine, but without multiplayer the app has little value to me. I'm going to keep it around and hope we see another lovely post saying "the disconnects are fixed" which btw is kind of obnoxious to see when you're constantly getting disconnected ( I know that post is from November, it's just one of those things that makes a bad situation worse). Cheers!
