Description
A dice game of skill, and a little luck, that is played in the bars of the Far East. It's named after a delicacy - fertilized duck eggs - that is often consumed while drinking in said establishments.
The goal of the game is to optimally fill out a score pad with certain dice combinations in order to gain the highest score.
The app is now integrated with an online leaderboard at AGON Online.

Customer Reviews
Five stars from me
I gave this game five stars, because it seemed silly not too.
(But really I'm writing this review in response to what 491X2 said.)
For being an excellent, and portable, representation of the balut dice game, this game deserves to be played. I've been having lots of fun with the game, and would recommend it to others. I'll click on an ad now and again, just because it seems like the right thing to do.
This game is not Yahtzee(tm), nor is it meant to be a clone.
Strange how some of the better ad supported free games, like this one, are ones that I'd be willing to pay for. While some of the not so good, (read as: crappy,) $0.99 cent games, I wouldn't bother playing even if they were free.
Hahaha!
I gave this game 5 stars - because I'm hopelessly biased towards my own creations.
... And I'm desperately trying to catch up with all those other games that I've tried with higher ratings than mine (what's up with that?), but didn't seem to merit it, IMHO ! Ballot stuffing perhaps? Did I say that aloud?
(But I'm really writing this review in response to what StormKing501 wrote!)
Thank You.
It's people like you that make all the effort worthwhile!
Thank you very much for the laugh. Thank you very much for the review. And thank you most especially for the kind words. The occasional ad-tapping is good, too.
On a more Balut-oriented note... Where are all the Americans on the leader-board? The Scandinavians are whooping our butts. Even Reunion is out scoring us!
USA! USA! USA! :)

I didn't really want to give myself 5 stars...
It seemed silly not to.
Why I'm really writing this review is to respond to islesfan81.
The descripition of the various combinations can be found by tapping the little info icon to the right of the Total Points line when you're playing the game.
And, while I'm here, I'd like to dis-abuse people of the notion that us developers are raking in the dough here by 'getting paid through ads'. I'm making pennies per thousands of views. I might be able to buy a pizza in a month or two - if people are still playing this game in a month or two - the drop off can be steep. So, if you could be so kind and click on an ad every once in a while if it seems even the slightest bit interesting - I'd be most appreciative.
All that being said, I suppose that most of us don't do it for the financial rewards. I for one do it for the feedback, I can't tell you how nice it is when someone posts a kind word or two. And those one stars... they're the virtual equivalent of someone spitting in your face... at least to me.
So I'd like to thank those who've taken the time to rate and/or review. And hopefully I didn't waste anyone's time so much that they felt the need to give me a single star :).
