Game of Ur

Impressive digital version of an ancient Sumerian board game. Just needs an option to reset game scores

This is a great app, I just wish it allowed a 2 player mode

The dice are definitely -not- random! This is the most frustrating aspect of games like this, where the “difficulty” is determined by how badly the dice are loaded, not by the actual skill of the opponent. I don’t understand why developers choose to do this, but it’s the one thing I wish I could change. Otherwise, this app is great.

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.

Light weight so you can play all day. Hard mode is nice and challenging. Dear developer: I would happily buy an IAP for the advanced game using Finkel’s rules.

This is a decent app. It’s cheap. It doesn’t collect data about you, advertise to you, or harass you for in-app purchases. It won’t let you start a new game on command, though. Also, it counts a win once at the end of a game and after closing the app and re-opening it starts a position from the end of the last game and counts another point for the winner. But for those drawbacks, I’d recommend it to friends.

I’m so glad I finally found a good version of Ur for my phone. I’ve tried others, and this is the best one for sure. The premium price is fair, no ads, no IAP, no tracking. It takes up almost no space and uses very little battery. The UI and design are really well done. And I love the “flick” option of flicking your opponent’s piece off the board if you want extra fun removing them, it somehow gives you extra satisfaction, it’s a small but playful option that adds a extra fun. Also, the dice rolls do seem totally random to me, like real dice, and not all apps are good at that. This one gets that right. The AI is good too, it seems balanced and smart. As a plus, the game saves your place when you close the app. Perfect for when you have to go back to work. Thank you developer for bringing this game to the phone so fairly and so beautifully. Getting this game made my day!
