An appetizingly addictive dice game for up to 4 gambling gobblers. Barbecued worms are in high demand, and only the coolest-headed chicken can win the tasty snack! But beware: Anyone who doesnt manage to grab a worm off the grill can help himself to those on his opponents plates! In Reiner Knizia’s popular dice game, 16 barbecue worm portions with different values are waiting on the grill to be snatched up by the dice-throwing chickens. The rules are simple, but don’t push your luck too far: To get your claws into one of the delicious worms, you roll all 8 dice at the same time. You then pick a value from your throw and remove all the dice showing the same value, before throwing the remaining dice again. If your score corresponds to an available barbecue worm portion on the grill you can take this portion - or maybe even grab a portion from the plate of your fellow players! You’ll need both the luck of the dice and the right strategy: Stick with your score, or roll the dice just one more time to get a better portion. The player with the most worms in his claws at the end of the game wins!

Features:
• Single-Player against 6 AI opponents with unique tactics
• Hot seat multiplayer for up to 4 players on one device
• Online multiplayer for 2-4 players via Game Center
• Numerous achievements to unlock

Latest reviews of Pickomino - the dice game by Reiner Knizia app for iPhone and iPad

Great game, but...
Lots of fun! A light game with a fantastic push your luck dice rolling mechanic. My only complaint is that it wont save games if you close the app. Please fix this! Otherwise, thumbs up!
Fun
Great tutorial, took 5 minutes. Easy to learn, fun to play, cute animations and artwork. Peppy music. Only wish there were more modes for single player. There are 6 ai opponents. I wish there were matches, like best of 5, or maybe a mode to see how many games you can win in a row, stuff like that, giving you a reason to come back and play.
Broken
Broken, please fix. AI games I never started, strange happenings in multiplayer, dont these things get checked before release? Omg.
AI too good
In the games I have played so far the AI crushes me every time. They always steal my tile, never fail to acquire a tile and never make a bad roll. Whats up??!!
Buggy
This game has potential but needs a lot of work - at first we couldnt get online games to even work (the invited player couldnt join - solved that by joining the game through the new game window) and then it commonly has an off by one error on selecting tiles (particularly around gaps in the tile layout. and doesnt allowing selecting legal tiles. Weve also seen it show a player take the tile and leave the tile in the top row. Finally, to switch between games you have to exit all the way out to the lobby. These bugs make the game nearly unplayable without a great deal of frustration
