Description: Introducing iYacht with Shake & Roll Detection!

How can iYacht make an already great classic dice game even more fun?

By allowing players to Shake & “Throw” their iPhone to shake and roll the dice!

What is Shake & Roll Detection?

Shake & Roll Detection makes iYacht different from other dice games. When you play with real dice, you shake them and then you roll them. In other words, shaking and rolling the dice are separate actions and iYacht recognizes that.

To “shake” the dice, just shake your iPhone. And just like with real dice, shaking is optional.

To “roll” the dice, just turn your iPhone to landscape orientation, wait for the dice to slide off the screen and then make a motion similar to throwing dice at a craps table, snapping your iPhone back to portrait orientation and “throwing” the dice back onto the screen. It’s a lot of fun!

What are the benefits of distinguishing between shaking and rolling?

First, it provides more opportunity to undo your selections. You can stop shaking the dice, restore them to what they were when you started shaking them and then you can either change which dice you are holding or which scoring category you just selected.

Second, it adds a personal element to the randomness of the dice. Some people might shake the dice a lot, some might shake them a little and some might not shake them at all. This constantly alters the output of the random number generator, making the outcome of dice rolls more random.

Third, if you’ve played other dice games that allow you to shake your iPhone to roll the dice, you’ve probably accidentally rolled the dice by

either bumping your iPhone or while handing it to another person. That won’t happen with iYacht because you must make an intentional throwing motion to roll the dice. You still might accidentally shake the dice, but that can be undone by selecting the “Restore Dice” button.

If you don’t feel like shaking and “throwing” your iPhone, you can always use the Shake & Roll Die that’s located on the bottom right corner of the screen instead.

More features:

PLAY WITH UP TO 4 OTHER FRIENDS – When playing with friends, iYacht will tell you who to hand the iPhone to when your turn is over and will temporarily disable it’s Shake & Roll Detection until they press a button to acknowledge that they are ready to begin their turn. This eliminates accidentally rolling the dice for the next player!

BONUS TRACKING – Bonus tracking keeps you informed of what affect your scoring selections have towards earning the 35 point bonus associated with the Aces through Sixes scoring categories, freeing you from having to do the math yourself!

GAME PLAY IS ALL ON ONE SCREEN – You can always see your entire score sheet and don’t ever have to scroll it!

HALL OF FAME AND SHAME – Not only does iYacht keep track of High Scores to see who has bragging rights, it also keeps track of Low Scores to see who shouldn’t play dice games for money. Or, for a different challenge, try to earn the lowest score possible!

DOESN’T REQUIRE DOUBLE DIGIT MB’S OF STORAGE – Wouldn’t you rather use it to store music, pictures and videos?

NICELY PRESENTED, EASY TO NAVIGATE AND THOROUGH SETS OF RULES AND HELP PAGES
