Hola 👋

Currently the game does not let you play with all the pieces even though you have the possibility. For example: I roll the dice, once I am going to move the pieces the game allows me to move 2 or 3 and not the one I want to move, even with enough to move the desired piece, because of this they eat me up a lot and I have lost very good games because it does not let me play with the piece I want even though I have the opportunity to be sure and get the necessary amount of points, and it also happens to me that on the bridge of the entrance of another player when he only takes one piece from his square it turns out that he takes me to my square and before this did NOT happen, before if he took out 2 pieces or if I had a joint with his and he had one left inside it was that he returned me to my square: Now by only taking out 1 piece the other player returns me to my square. I do not speak English, I hope you understand me. My apologies. I wish they could fix the error in the game.

The game is cheating

I just think that you have to use your intelligence to win the game, however the game is clearly messing with people. The dice numbers it throws are not “random,” how is it possible that your opponent gets a number to kill you, and then you can kill them but you never get the number you wanted. Not only that but your opponent a lot of times does not even know how to play right and they still win because they get a lot of doubles. The game is just not fair, it can literally choose who will win, because it does not matter how much you know about the game, except the numbers the game gives you. Also, another thing, when I am playing with an opponent, they always get doubles two times and they do not get it the third time, but I do, the little amount of time I have got them. Also the game is dishonest, how is it that some people change their numbers, and they still do not get the number they wanted, or they get the same number. I mean if you are wasting your gems, then why bother, if you are getting the same number. My opponents always get doubles, but I do not. I just love the game a lot, but you got to do better. Some of my friends have already stop playing the game because of how unfair it is. Some people get really angry because the game is literally choosing who will win. The numbers are not random at all.

Not random

The game would be fun if it was random, but it’s clearly not. It’s determined who will win and though strategy can sometimes help you flip the game in your favor, most of the time you it can’t. If you are close to winning, and it’s clear your opponent was determined to win, you will beginning rolling 1 and 2 or something small so that you can barely move and then they will beginning rolling doubles over and over again and then will get whatever they need to kill your token. They will also roll whatever they need to stay safe so you cannot kill them. It’s very easy to predict the rolls because it’s not random at all. After you play a while, if you don’t spend money it becomes nearly impossible to win. You will roll 1 and 2 over and over while your opponent will get constant doubles, kill you and they will be safe. I cannot tell you how many times I was extremely close to winning while my opponent had no chance until they beginning rolling doubles and killed my last token, and then I couldn’t get 5 to get my token out to play UNTIL my opponents token was directly behind my starting place. Then, I’d roll, say a 5 and 2, and my opponent would roll three and immediately kill me again. It’s very clear that this game is rigged so you will spend money buying gems to undo your rolls.

Egregious RNG - Almost broken

I will start by saying the game itself isn’t bad, it’s parcheesi. And you can start an online game with friends (everyone has to have enough coins to play though, I think it’s 500 as of now). The problem is, like a lot of pay to play games, there are a multitude of collectibles that are used to do different things (which they leave you to figure out on your own). This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, but the RNG makes things happen that would almost never happen in a real game. You WILL roll doubles 3x in a row, multiple times, and be sent back. It is beyond frustrating, because you can “re-roll” using green gems they conveniently sell. You can get free gems and coins very slowly by logging in every day and clicking on all the tabs to see if you can collect any free stuff. It’s par for the course, but difficult to explain to my dad who just wants to play a game with his kids on the other side of the country. Basically, if you really want to play parcheesi, it technically is parcheesi. But know that you will want to throw your phone after getting sent back to home 3 or 4 times because you aren’t going to buy gems to re-roll the dice. I play video games, I am a gamer. But I only pay money for good games, not cash grabs.

Worst costumer service

I've had problems with the game because ever since I started buying gems and coins in the game, they increased the amount of what they charge within the game, many games make me lose turns or the game simply doesn't let me move the piece that I want but it tells me which one yes and which one no, when it's not supposed to be like that, I tried to do a test, playing it with my son, he's a 2 year old he doesn't know how to count , so in the games he magically beat me, they gave them all the numbers and doubles were good for him and they didn't let me play for more than 5 turns, obviously the game has a methodology so that people keep spending money, I accepted it because it's a game which is fun sometimes but today I was playing an event with a person and the game simply kicked me out and the app closed and when I came back it asked for my account again then I entered and I was surprised that they took my gems and the 5 million coins that I had. I had bought it less than two hours ago, and it's not fair that I've already spoken to the game support and they keep copying the same message and I've sent them proof of what I say and they keep copying and pasting a message and they don't help me at all. If you look at the game reviews, they're all the same, very unfair.

Could be better

This game is good when you need to pass time because the game can go on for 30 minutes. However my major problem with this game is how not random it is. Also why do we use our dice gems and still get the same number? That is how you know it is not random, because no way did i use a dice gem to get a different number and I get the exact same 2 numbers. & that happens frequently. Sometimes we spend money out of our own pocket to buy dice gems just got us to get the same numbers most of the time. not cool at all and that is a major flaw. Game would be way better if it was random. The game is also very predictable, you could tell who is going to win the game half way through because they will keep allowing them to get the right numbers to kill you, but you could never seem to get the right numbers to kill them even if you use your dice gems. Also sometimes they will let everyone else out and 6 rounds will go by and everyone is playing and you are still sitting there waiting to get a 5. That is a major cheat because now everyone else has a huge advantage over you because they started and you’re still sitting there. Not cool.

It’s ok

I’m gonna give this 5 stars bc even tho developers don’t always give the interest of other players they still work hard too satisfy people, before I tell you my interpretations about this game please stop saying “don’t listen to others bc there just be annoying or whatever else they say” people have opinions and developers ask us to give reviews so that they can improve, so id appreciate if ppl stopped saying that thank you. Now listen I’m a 12 year old young lady and I would personally say that this game is more likely for adults this game is like the game trouble but it’s better playing trouble in person, NO offense but I feel this game is quite boring over time but honestly it’s better playing with friends. Now I hope this helps there’s not much to say about this game bc it’s actually not and as I thought I would say it’s only boring for me because I play alone but it’s better to play with friends then again I appreciate you reading this ! Have a nice day :)

game nonsense

This game functions in a rigged and fixed algorithm. While intelligence and IQ are required to play it strategically, the computers decides who's going to win the match. How is it possible that my opponent rolls exactly the required amount to kill one of my pawns or to roll multiple doubles to enter his/her pawns home? And what about when trying to undo a roll, you still roll the same number you initially wanted to change. I recently played a matched against another opponent for $5 million gold, and I rolled a 1 and a 2 for 5 times consecutively, even when trying to break the pattern by undoing the roll, and my opponent rolled doubles and high numbers, ultimately giving her/him the win. This game is a fraud, and they need to change that before causing controversy with their audience. There is no strict regulations with rolls of the dice and its fixed algorithm. I will report this app to Apple to see if they can do anything. I basically lost $50 the other day, trying to participate in the "BIG WIN" event. I paid for $10 million gold, which was required to participate, and lost on my first match because my opponent kept rolling doubles and the required amount to kill me.
