What do you get if you cross Yahtzee with Boggle? Something like this. Try to match the cards up with the dice, and see if you can get a decent score. Each of the 4 available modes lets you play things a little bit differently, and in the interest of "people prefer to just see EASY, click that, and get on with it", I've labelled them Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. Sorted!! |

Latest UpdateV0.5As I post this, I can think of another 3 or 4 things that I could do with it. Hmm. This might see an update if folk are interested, but otherwise there's probably no need. It's good enough! Next!! |

I missed this one, so now I downloaded it and really liked it. It offered me several games before I went here to write a comment. I don't think the difficulty labellings were that appropriate though, since they're more like different game modes than difficulties. Expert mode was mostly restrictive rather than difficult. I found Hard to be more fun, because I found that it required the most thinking. The game is lacking some descriptions about the various cards. I've played Yahtzee before, but I couldn't remember what combinations of dies would warrant one. The large/small sequences were also pretty unobvious. Another confusing aspect was the colors of the blocks, changing in strange indescribable ways when points were awarded. |

The Easy->Expert thing was something I wrangled over. I knew I wanted the different gameplay options, but how to trim that down to a little nugget without resorting to having a batch of silly checkboxes and buttons to decide on how exactly you want to play. So, yeah, tricky to decide on that one, and in the end I just went for pre-set options, with Easy->Expert. Just seemed simpler! Not sure what happened to the card descriptions! They're in the code, but I never used 'em, sorry!?! As for the block color things.. Rushed last-minute additions rarely get explained well, but essentially if you have a dice that isn't scored yet, it's value is subtracted from your overall score. If you're playing on Hard or Expert, it happens twice, and you need to try to "use" each dice twice before it becomes green, and no longer subtracts. Too complicated for the available 2 line description, but there it is  |edit| In fact, looking at it now, there's a crapload I could do to it. FFS, I even forgot to add a bloody "Click to Start".. wtf is that about!? |edit|
