The AI does some very dumb things. I was playing purple, about to lose, and the AI committed suicide by playing Magistrate's Counsel. I'd think the AI would at least check to see if the proposed action would result in life falling to zero.
I don't understand why people are so sure the computer cheats. If you were playing this game with a real opponent and real dice, would you call the other player a cheater because he had a run of good luck and you did not? It's a game about making guesses based on probabilities. Accept it for what it is, and play something else if that doesn't interest you.
I don't understand why people say the game is too dependent on luck. You can't control what opportunities appear but you can decide which ones to take and you can see good ones coming. If you are losing endless quickly, you're probably clicking too fast. Never, ever start a reaction until you're sure you will explode at least three atoms. You are better off waiting until there are ten or so atoms on the board to maximize your score. The big chain reactions give you the most points. If you get black holes or more than one atom spawning at a time, that's because you messed up and didn't wait for a reaction that would get you three.
