Your "shut the box" game is wrong, you roll two six sided dice so there is no way to roll a 1, only 2-12. Makes it a lot harder to win when you can roll a 1.
Have to echo the comments about the game running like crap/playing slow. Major turn off for me to the point where I just don't even want to play the game despite liking it.
wow, way to really show some originality can't believe people are giving this 4 stars even if it was perfect it'd only be a 3 in my book. And its not even in the same neighborhood as perfect, the complete lack of a) originality, b) compelling gameplay and c) a decent control scheme pretty much make this a 1.
