Twenty Squares, or the Royal Game of Ur, a strategy/race board game. dating from at least 2600BCE. The oldest game boards were found in the tombs of Ur in Iraq in the 1920s. While the ancient rules are still fuzzy, two players race around the board to see who can bring all their stones home before the other, with some surprises along the way. - No ads and no in-app purchases! - 1 or 2 players This version currently implements the simple route and rules of the game, perfect for kids and beginners to the game. Some reviewers have suggested that the dice rolls are rigged when playing the AI. The dice rolls are not fudged in any way! Part of the allure of Twenty Squares is that you can't predict the winner until the very end of the game, as one bad roll can change the outcome completely. Feedback/reviews are welcome to help future development. Some things on the go: - GameCenter support to play with people around the world - better AI - more race routes and special squares
Perfectly done, awesome game!
First off, thanks, developer, for pricing this so fairly as a premium game with no ads or IAP. I heartily support developers like you who do that right. The game plays awesome! The rolls are fair. The graphics are good. The interface is intuitive. The rules were simple to learn. Thank you for giving me a great new (very old, LOL) game to play while I’m having coffee or taking a break.
United StatesExcellent version of the game!
I only wish the difficulty was higher. I haven’t lost to the virtual opponent ever. However this is a delight to play. Well done!
United StatesLove the game but....:
I wish it had a harder level. And PLEASE add a option to turn off volume. Last request leaderboard and show number of moves to help with learning the game
United StatesDice change 4/2019
I have been playing this for a long time. It’s fun and to think it is from way back when, is amazing. I am an older person, probably like most that are enjoying this game. (Not enough violence for younger kids) But, anyway, the 3 new black triangles are very small. I can not tell what is printed in white on them. And now my turn number is much a lighter color, and not as easy to see. Minor things in this world of big problems, but my 2 cents worth. Still a great game ..... Linda
United StatesI’m positive it cheats
I have to agree with swhellweg on this. My enjoyment of the game is lessened because the ai cheats. When I play level 3, the ai almost ALWAYS gets the move it needs. So much so, I can predict, 9 times out of 10, how many moves it will get after I move my piece. I really enjoy this game, but that joy is short lived when I play.
United StatesCatch up logic
This is a fun implementation of the game. Plays the way it should, and everything is accurate. The ai logic is pretty good over all. It does use some catch-up logic that was obvious. I was one role from winning, and way out ahead. It must have given me 8 zeroes in a row until it got closer and let me finish. Don’t tell me you haven’t fiddled with it. give me a break.
United StatesGreat Implementation, but graphically unappealing.
The designer has done a wonderful job of implementing Dr. Irving Finkle of The British Museum’s ruleset. I do wish it had some sort of graphic representation of the tetrahedral dice and the ability to “roll” your own dice. I have to objection which keep my rating T Four. My biggest objection is THE AI CHEATS! On the highest difficulty level it almost ALWAYS gets exactly what it needs to knock you out, get a second roll, or to score... almost always. It’s even noticeable on difficulty II, but it is much more balanced. My second biggest objection is the amateurish graphic design. While this has no bearing on the game interface or playability, the visual appeal of the original source game Ur, or many other versions available as tabletop editions, just isn’t there. As a graphic designer myself, I look forward playing games that are pleasing to the eye. When I’m playing this it makes me wish I could help bring this best-of-the-ur-apps-so-far to the next level. Ultimately the gameplay is relatively intuitive(except the ~), smooth and enjoyable, which I suppose is most important.
