Not bad, but could be better...

We play "dice" all the time, using only 5 dice. Its very similar to this and I was hoping it would have more of the same rules and features.

The same:
500 to get in
1s and 5s are counters
3 of a kind is 100x the face value of the dice
Must get a scoring die or dice to keep rolling
A run thrown all in one roll counts as 1500 (except we use only 5 dice, as mentioned)

Whats different, that if added I fell would give it a stronger game play value:
3 of a kind rolled at the same time: if it is 1s, gives you 1000 points rather than just 300 (otherwise what is the benefit of rolling 3x 1s? They lose their value)
4 of a kind rolled at the same time doubles whatever 3 of a kind would be (and doubled again with 5 at once, and so on)

Now the MAIN thing that makes this game the most fun when played with a group of people is that when you score (rather than getting a "zilch"), you "pass the dice" to the next player in line (or the iPhone/iPod in this case). That player has the option of taking a chance and rolling your dice and adding to what you scored, or starting from scratch (at 0 for that round with all the dice) and playing as usual. This really adds to the "gamble" and makes the game so much more fun.

One more added feature that I would love to see in an upgrade would be if you could play with another player or multiple players (pass the phone/ipod) rather than only against the computer. This is a game we play on holidays and let me tell you, weve had dice rolling under seats in the airplane! It would be great to have a version that we could play together just by passing the iPhone/iPod back and forth. Consider it!
