Description
If you play more than one of my Ancient Games, I suggest you delete the individual apps and install the main one (Ancient Games). It will allow you to play them all and save disk storage.
The past is full of fascinating board games that haves been mostly forgotten. The Ancient Games collection aims to resurrect them as a meticulously crafted mix between what a player wants from an historical game and what he/she expects of a modern application.
-Play against the IA, friends and random players from around the world.
-Play Online & Offline.
-Multiple collectibles : boards, game pieces, dice, nameplates, etc.
-Challenges (Fun rule variants)
-Free cloudsave across the collection : your progress in one game is available in all the others.
-Much more features to come!
-Languages : English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Russian.
Currently, the collection is comprised of four games : the Royal Game of Ur, Senet, XII Scripta and Puluc, but 40 games are in the works!
Each game will be added to the Ancient Games app and will have its own individual app as well.

Ratings and Reviews
Great game but suspect loaded ‘dice’
It’s a great game and it’s weird to think that this game was played 1000s off years ago.
When I play the hard level, I am certain that the only reason it’s hard is because the dice have been loaded against me. The app gets concurrent throws , for example, of 1,1,4,5,4,2 and has at least 4 or 5 moves per go at least twice in a game, and the maximum concurrent throws I get is 3 or if I’m lucky, 4.
So the level isn’t based on strategy or tactics but on loaded dice.
But still a great game.

Hi,
The dice code is the same for both players in all difficulties. The difficulty is created by the priorities of the AI. In Hard mode, it has more priorities so it is more complex, in Easy, it only tries to get its first pawn out.
I wrote an article about the dice : https://www.ancientgames.eu/blog/2020/05/02/about-the-dice/
These are the odds for the Royal Game of Ur, but the idea is the same.
I don't need to rig the dice because my monetization strategy is based on customization. I don't really care if you win or loose (although I prefer when the player wins since it makes him happy with the game).
Lucky streaks happen of course, but they aren't planned. It is just the nature of dice. If you check the recap at the end, you will see that it is pretty well balanced between players.
Cool
How do we play as p2 against computer? And how do we select the other token set? Bored of using cones set all time

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed answer, I was taking a little break ;)
I think you always are Player 1 against the computer (traditional when playing alone). At the moment, there is no way to select the spools as they are Player 2's pawns, but that is something that can be changed.
I'll add it to the to-do-list. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Good game
It’s a old game but it’s also really good 5/5
