Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Playing by Appointment reported on May 24, 2022
Timed events which last less than 12 hours. Additionally, events can only be played so many times before needing to pay or wait, making the times played all the more important.

The game will give in-game currency and additional rewards for watching an advertisement
Invested / Endowed Value reported on May 24, 2022
Each player has a valued badge next to their name. Additionally, there are many skins which are rare or take an absurd amount of time to get or are limited time offers.

Complete the Collection reported on May 24, 2022
There are numbers on all collections telling you how many items there are. Additionally, there are achievements for collecting certain amounts of items in specific collections. Not even looking at all collectable types, there are over 2,000 different dice to collect.
Illusion of Control reported on May 24, 2022
It's Yahtzee so dice rolls are completely random. However, the game still acts like it's a skill to play. Sometimes an event will give the player many easy goals such as CHANCE (just add up all dice) or 3 OF A KIND; sometimes the same event will instead require 4 OF A KIND, FULL STRAIGHT, or multiple YAHTZEEs. As events go on, this disparity is more apparent.
Variable Rewards reported on May 24, 2022
There is a reward that is literally a scratch off ticket which can give anything from 10xp to 50 reroll dice (in-game currency)
Fear of Missing Out reported on May 24, 2022
Some events place you into a random family where rewards require multiple people to participate to reach the farther sections of the event (and nicer rewards such as rare dice)
