Predictable AI

The graphics and audio quality are nice. The game board and stones should be a little brighter (they are a little dim, and therefore mildly straining on my eyes). The AI seems to respond to my moves with the same move every time. Ive figured out a pattern where I can defeat the computer 29-19 (playing four stones) every single game on the Med and Hard modes, and I can defeat the computer on Easy 25-23 every game. I dont play Easy mode very often, so I dont care much about increasing the score differential. Since this app is my introduction to the game of Mancala, I find this predictability quite boring after several games. Ive recently purchased a real bored and Im anxious to compete against a human opponent. It appears this game (actual board and stones) offers a complex game tree with countless outcomes. This app did get me initially interested in the game, however, it doesnt continue to challenge me. Since it was a good introduction, I would recommend it and consider it to be useful but predictable.
