Pros and cons of British Domino app for iPhone and iPad
British Domino app good for
I used to play this game regularly at a Royal Canadian Legion in Lac La Biche, AB; its fun, addictive and challenging. Now I dont have to wait to go back out West to play - I can play on my iPhone anytime I like! Its an easy game to learn and I highly recommend teaching it to others. Once you do you can play with a partner in groups of four and feel the drama escalate - this game is a blast!
I played the American Domino version (by Sorenso) and that game is fun...British Domino is even better! Takes a minute to get used to the game rules (I had to look up the game online, which is known as fives and threes) but soon found myself playing it more than the American version, since I like seeing my peg far ahead of the computers. Crashed twice, but then again I must have played it 50+ times so Ive gotten my moneys worth out of it. If you like dominoes, give it a try!
I cannot believe it is going on seven years since I first purchased this app. It could stand to be updated, but for dominoes without bells, whistles, and ads, its nearly perfect. I come back to this game again and again. I knocked off a star for the lack of update. With every OS upgrade, I have checked to see if it still works. I hope the developers will consider updating it.
Some bad moments
Cannot recommend. This app has not been updated for years now, and the online scores link is dead. Try another dominoes or Fives and Sevens app first.
