Fleet the Dice Game 4+

All the mechanics are there

And it’s an enjoyable experience but be warned it is not a beautiful or elegant looking game. But despite that it is fun to play and it mimics the roll and write very well.

A couple of wish list items. Larger font! I’m getting older and even with readers on my ipad it’s hard to read. The licenses can be tapped to get larger but they do not go away after tapping agin. You have to wait for the game to shrink them. Not everything can be enlarged either.

Some of the background choices make the iconography hard to see and read in the fish area especially.

The dice fall to the bottom of the screen and block the income track. Luckily on my iPad I can go to landscape mode which lets me see the income track. Otherwise it’s a no go. The income track is important information.

Would love to see a undo button. Otherwise I have to be very careful I don’t a tap a die I don’t want.

I’m guessing it’s a money and time issue for some of the graphic design decision but the project seems a bit rushed. It’s one of my favorite games and I hope that you are going to continue to improve on it. I do appreciate that you took the time to digitize this game though. Thank you!

Great after figuring out scoring

I’m revising prior reviews because now that I’ve finally figured out how scoring works, and that you can use star actions to mark either sheet (not just the one you’re looking at), I’m getting better scores. I don’t score real high, but it still is very satisfying.

I applaud the developer for making this game premium at a fair price with no ads. I also love the design and the way the dice rolls and checking boxes work. And the way AI works (to block you) is excellent, it makes you feel like a human is playing against you, but without the stress of trying to beat an AI’s score. Brilliant.

Once I figured out how all the mechanics work, I’m enjoying this game immensely. A good tutorial would have helped. It took playing a lot and reading the rules several times for things to click.

I’m glad I stuck with it, because this is an excellent solo game, that plays well and is priced fairly. It could use a little battery optimization, but it’s not too bad. No complaints really. Ignore my prior reviews before things clicked.

Thank you developer! This might be my favorite phone game now. Even though I always score as a “deckhand” LOL

Thanks for your review. We are currently working on a tutorial system that should be in Beta this month. Feel free to join our discord and request beta access.

There are also a lot of strategy discussions as well as rules questions answered. The game is a lot deeper that most roll n writes. You might also visit the game on Board Game Geek to learn more.

Great Implementation but no Multiplayer

This is a great game to get a digital version of and it all works as expected. Some of the UI is not 100% intuitive but it doesn’t take long to learn. My only gripe is that there is no simulated multiplayer. It looses its replay ability with only having the solo mode available (in the solo mode stuff is crossed out on your own sheet making it unavailable, instead of trying to beat someone head to head in scoring).

Thanks for your review and we expect multiplayer to launch spring 2024.

Look for us in discord and join our beta if you would like to help in the development.
