Description of Ancient Ivory
(Latest Version 4.0):
Ancient Ivory v4.0 is an award winning dice game of strategy and luck featuring an intuitive interface, your choice of three different graphical interfaces, realistic animation and sound effects, and music, with an optional competitive computer opponent. Choose a different graphical interface, each with unique dice animation, every time you play - Classic, Stained Glass Monet or Safari. In Ancient Ivory, five dice, or a subset of these dice are rolled up to three times, in an attempt to score the highest number of points for each of twelve categories. Points are scored for five-of-a-kind (an "Ivory"), large straight, small straight, four-of-a-kind, full house, sixes, fives, fours, threes, twos, ones and choice. Four game variations of Ancient Ivory are included: single- and double-column options are provided for both the five- and ten-dice games. Play alone, against one, two, or three other players, or, in the five-dice variations of Ancient Ivory, against a competitive computer opponent. A variety of midi music pieces are provided, but you can add your own! Animation speed of the dice and cup are easily set and saved for players' preferences.
Ancient Ivory displays and saves the top ten scores in each of the four game variations. Also, for the player's convenience, the current game variation last played, including players' names, animation speed, music and sound effects options are saved automatically.
