I’ve been playing this app for several years now and love it. However, I recently replaced my old IPhone 8 Plus with a new iPhone 17 Air and discovered I can no longer play your game on it. First of all, your display is larger on this new phone and only allows BARELY two rows at the bottom for your dominoes. This is not only very frustrating to try to move your dominoes into position to start playing, but does not allow room for additional dominoes, especially when you have to draw a lot. Secondly, when I try to move any dominoes in the lower area, it causes your screen to be moved up and away, because that is what that phone is designed to do. So now I can’t even play it at all!!! Fortunately, I still have my old phone to access and play the game as the display design has remained the same as before. But it’s a pain to have to keep two phones charged and on you and then have to bounce back and forth between them in order to play one game you love that happens to be one of your most favorite to play. Please do something to fix these two issues or explain to me how I can from my end without having to pay for a premium level to do so. Thank you for taking care of this issue. I’m assuming with all the new iPhone 17’s now out there, I’m not the only one experiencing this. This is the only reason I couldn’t give the 5th star on my review.
December 2021 Update So, it is crazy that I still like playing a game that so clearly cheats. Not only are the other players specifically targeting you, they also know what dominos you hold. This became so obvious over the last month I wonder how I missed it for so long. Oh well - guess the only thing to do is to delete the app. Summer 2021 Update: So after playing several hundred more games, I’ve discovered two important points. 1) This game sets the other three players against you. You specifically. They do not block each other, only you. Along with drawing the high count dominos from the pool just as you’re ready to go out and getting blocked it’s extremely difficult to win. 2) This game is no different from any other game on the App Store. The app sees you as a revenue stream and you don’t spend money when you win. So, the algorithm is designed for you to lose, and the game’s level of difficulty increases with your abilities. So while you are looking for a relaxing game of dominos, they are looking for your money. First Post I have played hundreds of games. Every time I could go out a play is made to prevent it. There is no randomness to the dominos. The developer needs to at least make some effort to hide the fact that it’s stacked in their favor. I have played dominos in person and online and have never in my life lost every single game. Try another app if you want the feel of a real dominoes game. Two weeks later. So have I won any games? Yes, two. Playing this game is by far the best choice. You will not win unless you play very well. Does it favor the developer? Sometimes I think it does other times not. Either way out of all the Mexican Train apps I’ve tried this is the only one that is hard enough to make you better at the game.
Wow! I had to play this on and off for several days before I finally won a game!! So frustrating. I had to keep starting new games just to get into second or third place at then end of a game. Also the instructions are pitiful! If you’ve never played this game before you might have trouble understanding it. And what’s this “buy vouchers” routine so you can do simple things like replaying a round? What a rip off. I’m still debating if I want to remove the ads/purchase the game for $4.99. I’d like to know if it purchasing it would increase your chances of winning more often. The jury is still out on this game.
