Parchisi: Offline Parchis Game

App is awesome, but the AIs are too easy. I'd love a hardened AI that provides a challenge for professional players. Also would love to watch full-on AI games.

The AI players are super-dumb. They will only move based on the sequence of the dice. (ie. If a 2 and a 4 are showing, it will never move 4 first, and then 2 even if that is a better strategy) It will force moves on you based on the same criteria. Rolling a 5,3 with 2 pieces on entry square will result in an automatic move of 5 off the entry and then you may choose which piece moves the 3, instead of moving one a 3 and then bringing out a new piece. It's not a great game. Still looking then.

Game play is a little rigged in computers favor. Game forces you to break blocks the second computers piece reaches block, leaving your pieces on unprotected spaces, where the computer then hits your piece and sends it back to home, but does not work in reverse. I've had three of my pieces stuck behind computers block and been unable to move for several turns, until all other of the computers pieces were unable to move and it had to open the block.

The new graphics are annoying. I still play the game, but the new writing covers up the board. There's plenty of other space to put it. Also it's obvious the author is not a native English speaker. The sentence "The player can not movable." is bad English. Better English is "The player can not move."

I like the old version better

ok for computer game, some rules are not exactly on.. computer plays your 5's the way they want.. really do NOT like new graphics, they are cartoonish and I'm not.. and telling me every move ..really, people that play parchesi have been playing for years on a board... this update is terrible.. the other set up was much better and faster game play, without the bad grammar ! time to find a new one..

It used to be a fun game until it turned into more of a kid's game. It's time to uninstall.

Why change the old graphics?? It looks now like a game for kids. The way the dices move now is so annoying😢. The old version was way better. I've been playing this game for years, but I don't like this update.🤦‍♀️😢🙈
