- Since the whole point of playing reserves is to play another card again, wouldn't it be simpler to just have the card re-do the action instead of having to click on the desired card twice?
- I wish there were a way to cancel a card. I misclick often :(
- I got "please click on a card with a red border", but none had a red border so I couldn't continue :(
I have not won yet, but I feel like I'm slowly getting better - it is a challenge!
Props to the writer, only wish the story were longer T_T
Tips:
(1) If you have a choice, do not take one or two fives (unless you get a free roll out of it, or unless you can cash out with them). They're never worth it. Also, if you have to choose between three twos and a five, choose the five. This is pretty much the only time it's the better option.
(2) If you're holding only one die, roll the remaining five dice unless you have over 2850 points at stake.
(3) If you're holding two dice, roll the remaining four unless you have over 850 points at stake.
(4) If you're holding three, four, or five dice, cash out ASAP. Do not risk additional rolls.
(5) If your next Zilch would make three in a row, reduce these limits by 500 (2350 and 350)
With this strategy it is fairly easy to completely obliterate the AI at any level.
Additional Statistics:
Odds of Zilch with n dice:
6 - impossible, counts as a free roll
5 - about 1 in 12
4 - about 1 in 6
3 - about 1 in 4
2 - about 1 in 2
1 - 2 in 3 (exactly)
Expected total with n dice:
6 - about +467
5 - about +222
4 - about +137
3 - about +82
2 - about +57
1 - about +60
- no queenside castling (kingside castling is still possible)
- no en passant
- AI is kinda bad
All the rules work - castling (kingside and queenside) and en passant are properly implemented.
The AI, however, is very CPU-intensive... and not very good. The only worse AI on the site is probably Easy Chess https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/231283
Chess: The move history doesn't scroll right... Eh?! I can't castle?! >:U And the AI's king moved into check! That's illegal! And the pieces are on the wrong color squares! Serious question to the developer(s): did any of you bother testing the chess game? How could you have such a massive oversight? This renders the chess game almost unplayable (or at least, unwinnable). When the game ends, there's a restart button... that doesn't work. lol.
The level 4 (highest difficulty) chess AI, when it doesn't cheat, is about average compared to the other chess games on this site. Maybe in the range of 1600-1800 elo. The level 1 AI is maybe around 1000-1200 elo. A wider range of skill in both directions would've definitely be appreciated, but as-is it's fine. For the intensity of the CPU usage though, I expected more. Pico chess runs much smoother and can play expert level chess.
The tic-tac-toe game can be dragged entirely offscreen! Why?! The TTT AI is also pretty bad... easy to beat almost every game. Difficulty settings would be nice.
No checkers or ludo AIs, really? Then again, with how the other AIs work in this game, perhaps that's not such a bad thing...
The connect 4 AI literally just let me connect four on the very bottom row, in my first four moves - it literally could not be any worse - does it just play random moves?!
There's not much to say about snakes and ladders. It's pure luck, so it's impossible to screw that up.
Mancala plays okay.
Even on the easiest settings for the math game, you get problems like "81*82"... bruh
The spinning wheel to choose a game is nice but it would be better to just click it instead of having to press space.
Visually, the game is pretty good. There seems to be an odd mix of styles at times but overall everything seems fairly clean.
Also, why does this game say tic-tac-toe (American name) and snakes and ladders (British name) instead of one or the other? 😕
The game could definitely use a decent amount of proofreading, as well...
Many thanks for this detailed review. This is a very primitive version of the game. We will be posting a big update on Google Play in a few days.

Final Score: 73,928,450
Fuck man, that's hard! xD
I wish the customers would walk up a little quicker though, or allow me to give them food earlier...
Thanks for playing! :)
Just updated the project with some high scores and achievements if that interests you.
Great feedback; I'll take note of it.
Edit: You can now serve customers early!
Pretty good. Challenging but nothing too crazy. I needed hints on 16 and 24. Good way to spend a half hour or so.
Believe it or not, it's actually possible to get more than $1M. You can get as much as $4.8M (yes, you read that right) if you happen to get the following chain of events:
- first 23 cases chosen aren't 750K or 1M
- the lucky case is chosen as the third to last case (1 in 26 chance), and the offer multiplier minigame is activated (1 in 2 chance)
- the player selects the 5x multiplier (1 in 5 chance - the others are 1x (weight: 2), 1.5x, and 2x (both weighted at 1))
The banker will then attempt to offer $880,000, but with the 5x mult this instead becomes $4,400,000 (both of these are Diamond Tacos).
The chance of this happening is (I believe) 2/(26 choose 2) * 1/26 * 1/2 * 1/5 = 1 in 42,250
However, there are many other ways to get above $1M. I would estimate, if you added all these ways together, the total probability would be ~1 in 5,000 - but this strategy requires risky gameplay and has quite possibly never been achieved.
It's much, much easier to get less than nothing though - I've done that a few times myself. I think my personal record is -$22K, but you can theoretically get offers as low as -$90K with bad luck on the +/- minigame.
