Domino! - Multiplayer Dominoes +4

I have a win percentage in the 60% tile range across the board. I use to be able to look at other people individual skills to determine if wanted to play certain people more than others. They have changed that if my record is better than yours then all my stats pop up when I go to their page. That’s not cool or fun. Some people only go to nascar races hoping to see a crash. You can not water down the dominos and take fun and desire away from me. People having good records should not be punished by not being able to see their opponents record when they check the stats. If felons might not get a job because they have something to correct. The same goes for if the person record is in the 30%,40%,50%,80% everybody should have they stats shown. Don’t change the game because some people want to cry that they percent is low or stuff like that. If you just play dominos and put a bone down because it looks cool. Your going to lose most times to a numbers counting good domino player. We should be able to view everybody stats/records when we go check out there stats so we can make a conservative and informed decision if I even want to play against this individual. Make this change immediately and this world is too sensitive. Make everybody stats public.

Can be fun win playing other players head to head but the algorithm tends to take the surprise out of the game. Let’s just say that It’s not very difficult to determine if it’s going to your game or your opponent’s game after just the first hand. Making the game seem a bit scripted. I know when it’s going to be MY game because my beginning draw and all of my follow up draws are consistently strong throughout each hand, and after I domino I routinely receive Big Five or Six Four to extend my lead in each opening play. In situations where it is not MY game, the hands are consistently awful throughout. No back and forth. Even if you send your opponent to the the Boneyard they will generally pull once and that pull will be a scoring bone, over and over again. Which doesn’t make for a credible simulation. Don’t get me started on how there is always points scored on the play right before someone dominoes.

When playing the computer someone should also notify the developers that the Highest Difficulty, (Dominologist) should mean that the Computer doesn’t make many mistakes with the dominoes in it’s hand. NOT that the Computer arbitrarily has access to any “unrenegable” domino that we can’t physically see on the table or in our own hand. 🤣. Even when it’s obvious that the computer couldn’t have a particular Bone without reneging it will simply one pull it out a boneyard of 14 dominoes and score 15 or 20. 😂. I enjoy playing, but let’s do better, guys…

Not to be a stickler but there are a few rules you guys have that are NOT the actual rules and it makes me miserable. First, whoever locks the board wins the dominoes in EVERYONE’S hand. (I.e. if I lock the board and the two people I am playing have 10 points and 15 points in their hand, I get all 25 points.) Knowing how to lock the board is a skill thing and you guys average out the dominoes left in each person’s hand and award the person with the least amount of points the average of the points. It really drives me crazy to be slick and lock the board and I get penalized if I have more points in my hand. Also, when someone locks the board, this game makes the other player keep drawing from the boneyard until they’ve picked up all the bones and THEN they figure out who has more points in their hand. That’s a totally made up rule, NOBODY plays dominoes that way. Second, I wish you had an option to play tens and not fives. Again, no hardcore dominoes player plays fives. You ONLY score with 10 points or more.
I’ve had fun playing online with friends but these two rules (I call them non-rules) causes so many arguments. I just wish you’d give us the traditional options.
