Yatzy Addict for Pc

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 the app 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!

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.

There are certain rolls that simply don't hold up mathematically with real life odds. For example, if your first roll has 2 of a kind, you have 2 rolls of 3 dice to get another of the same number. The odds should have it to where the majority of the time, you get a 3rd dice of the number. However, your chances are more like 1 in 3 on this game. I've also had several endings where I maybe needed 2 5's for example, and had sometimes 9 rolls to get it - and wouldn't. This is almost impossible and should be very rare, but it's happened over and over. To me it seems the game is not generating random rolls each time, but determines (for better or worse, depending) ahead of your roll what it will or will not give you. As another example, I've only played the game about 200 times. And I've had numerous games where either me or my opponent had 3 Yahtzees in one game. The odds of it happening even once is 217,000+ to 1. So, something is off with the "randomness".

This is SO much better than Yahtzee with Buddies. You have to actually play the game once it starts. The 30 second per move timer is the bomb. Games move swiftly and you can compliment others through chat (or disable it if you don't want to talk). You can win chips from each other and see your overall win/lose ratio. It gives you added satisfaction beyond winning each game. But you can also chose many other options of game play -with buddies and pass/play- as well. There are only a few adds for their other apps that you barely notice because they are presented for your convenience not your annoyance. This app has everything that makes playing a game on my tablet enjoyable. Job. Well. Done.
