Very well done in every way
Mon Feb 15 2021 WRS15743I’m so glad I finally found a good version of Ur for my phone. I’ve tried others, and this is the best one for sure.
The premium price is fair, no ads, no IAP, no tracking. It takes up almost no space and uses very little battery.
The UI and design are really well done. And I love the “flick” option of flicking your opponent’s piece off the board if you want extra fun removing them, it somehow gives you extra satisfaction, it’s a small but playful option that adds a extra fun.
Also, the dice rolls do seem totally random to me, like real dice, and not all apps are good at that. This one gets that right.
The AI is good too, it seems balanced and smart.
As a plus, the game saves your place when you close the app. Perfect for when you have to go back to work.
Thank you developer for bringing this game to the phone so fairly and so beautifully. Getting this game made my day!
Pretty fun, but the Hard AI gets god-tier luck
Wed Aug 06 2025 KolaMagpieIt's a pretty simple game, easy to learn and easy to wile away some time. It doesn't drain the battery much, either, which is nice.
Easy difficulty is very easy, Medium is alright, Hard is extremely frustrating. It is very obvious that the computer's rolls are rigged. Once you move a piece one step outside of your staging area, if the computer had any pieces inside their staging area there is an 80% chance they will capture your piece, even if it requires two rolls to do it.
Any time any of my pieces were within 4 steps ahead of the Hard AI's pieces it is almost guaranteed that piece will be captured immediately. Every win I have had against the Hard AI has felt like the game had just decided to give me a pity-win and never lets the Hard AI return their last piece.
What a great game.
Fri Jan 17 2025 alyinsanfranI'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.
Decent app with couple of bugs
Fri Dec 30 2022 dbjones2This 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.
Best Game of Ur on the Store
Tue Aug 29 2023 fkruegerLight 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.
Very Promising
Sun Jun 01 2025 gottaplayloudFell 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
Wed Dec 27 2023 BruceHeffernanThe 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
Sat Nov 04 2023 Kiarash1994The 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.
Great game
Fri Dec 27 2024 BaminarImpressive digital version of an ancient Sumerian board game. Just needs an option to reset game scores

Sat Nov 09 2024 GATOR1776This is a great app, I just wish it allowed a 2 player mode
