10 Positive User Reviews for Game of Ur
Amazing game
This is a great app, I just wish it allowed a 2 player mode
Great game
Impressive digital version of an ancient Sumerian board game. Just needs an option to reset game scores
What a great game.
I've read the history of the game, and this has helped me to learn the strategies. It's a flawless translation.
The one thing I'd like to see is a way to reset the statistics. I played it on easy for 15 games and won them all, but it's retained that ratio when playing on a more difficult setting.
Edit: the developer got back to me and is looking in to inproving scoring. Which is cool. I'm still playing it, have refined my strategies and it's still very fun.
Very Promising
Fell in love with this game a few years ago but have yet to find anywhere online to play obviously I’ve only found one other app to play but it’s mediocre at best. I LOVE this app. I consider myself an ok player but as it is now since I’ve had this app for a year or so the score is app=5 Me=37. If I needed to complain it’s just a little easy and frustrating to win almost every time. Maybe I am that good hahaa. The app is incredible though. Hats off to whomever in charge of that!!!
Not random, but otherwise great
The dice are definitely -not- random! This is the most frustrating aspect of games like this, where the “difficulty” is determined by how badly the dice are loaded, not by the actual skill of the opponent. I don’t understand why developers choose to do this, but it’s the one thing I wish I could change. Otherwise, this app is great.
Please add multiplayer
The built is perfect and nice. If add multiplayer on same device or even better is through LAN would make it perfect.
I am not expecting an online version though.
Best Game of Ur on the Store
Light weight so you can play all day. Hard mode is nice and challenging.
Dear developer: I would happily buy an IAP for the advanced game using Finkel’s rules.
Decent app with couple of bugs
This is a decent app. It’s cheap. It doesn’t collect data about you, advertise to you, or harass you for in-app purchases. It won’t let you start a new game on command, though. Also, it counts a win once at the end of a game and after closing the app and re-opening it starts a position from the end of the last game and counts another point for the winner. But for those drawbacks, I’d recommend it to friends.

Single player only—really??
This game was invented to play against another person, but that’s not even an option. I bought this game to play against my sister, but we can’t play it together. I’m really NOT interested in playing against the computer. Sure, it’s only 1 dollar wasted, but it’s the principle that bothers me. Why program such a game to only be played against the computer? You should at least mention this limitation in the description. I only confirmed my suspicion after sifting through the reviews. I re
