The game iAggravation is a marble board game for 1 to 8 players. Players can share a single device. The objective is to advance all of your marbles around the board to your home position from the base position. Marble movement is based on the roll of two dice. Landing on your opponent's marble sends it back to their start position. The player type can be human or computer. The board style is selectable: classic, modern, beach, space or party. The classic board is the actual board made by my grandfather years ago. There are selectable variations: one die, two dice, playing cards, blockade, back four, corners, automatic modes and more.

Game changes that took away the fun
Feb 6

In a recent update, the game took away the ability to use the star path. This was what I grew up with. The original board that I remember when I grew up had six players on it and the game took that away. You can now only do six players on the party board. I’m a little disappointed with the updates. I probably won’t be playing this game much more. It really is disappointing now.

I call the “star path”, corner mode. In game setup -> game play options turn corner mode on to enable the star path. Corner mode can be played with any board and any number of players.

This is super nostalgic for me. My family was a gaming family and before I had a car we would play simple board games at home. I owned this one, and brought it out as often as possible. So I was very happy to find the one version of this in app form. For the most part this is the game I remember. I like the chance to tweak the look of the board and marbles, as well as the ability to really alter the other players' abilities. The one complaint I have, and I see this was not addressed in the update, is sound. It gets to me after a bit when everything is totally silent. The die should have a sound, the marbles should make an appropriate click sound as they move around the board. Music isn't necessary, just sound basic sound. Please.I would also add the ability for the game to play in horizon as well as portrait mode. There are times I wish to play yet have the screen angled upright on my cover but that’s I possible, the game has to be played flat on the able. Not good for my neck.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t forget your request. Both IAGGRAVATION 3D and the current iAggravation version 26 now have sound. Portrait and landscape displays are also available on all iPhones and iPads.

It’s fine

I think the game is fine. We’ve only played one game, so I may have a different review later. We played on my phone - which was too small. I see today that I can download an older version to my iPad. So we’ll see how that is. One suggestion. Our house rules are - if you don’t get out after 3 rolls you can come out on the 4th roll. -You still roll, in case you get a 1 or 6 to roll again. - My hubs played nearly the whole game and didn’t roll a 1 or 6 until the game was nearly over. Such a bore when you can’t play. Be nice if that was an option. We call it the “pity” rule. 🙄. I bought the game because of your responses back to the previous reviewers. I wanted to bring up the average on your stars.

Thanks for the feedback. I like your “pity” rule. I have the statistics tab just for this reason to show that the dice are fair. I will see if this can be added.

Recent update destroyed it

This used to be a great game. There were some occasional glitches, but they didn’t happen often. With a recent update, though, it’s essentially unplayable. I play partners, two mine and two the computer. Nearly every game, at some point a computer player is unable to use a move and 1) the app attributes the unused roll to my player, 2) the app makes that move for my player, 3) the app rolls for my player, 4) the app again moves for my player, and 5) the app then rolls and moves for my player each turn until the computer player is again able to use a roll. When/if this is corrected, I’ll happily update my rating & review — again, it used to be a pretty good game. But as it is, don’t waste your time.
