It took me about ten days to get the 100 awards in the game. But the game's award counter seems to be broken, and it still shows only 77. :(

... What just happened? I got three no-choice zilches in the row. Meanwhile, the AI is incredibly lucky, getting 1000 points and so on. Then, on the last roll that he makes, he trumphs me with flipping 5000+ points IN ONE ROLL(and freerolls like crazy)?! :C

Seems that whenever I'm about to win, the computer gets about 8 free rolls in a row and wins from a deficit of 4000+points.

Percentage for NOT ZILCH for rolling:
1 die: 33.3%
2 dice: 55.6%
3 dice: 72.2%
4 dice: 84.3%
5 dice: 92.3%
6 dice: 100%
Press + so that everyone can know it.
6 dice: 100%

So because of the way quick select sometimes chooses only one instead of two of the possible dice, the cautious AI attempted to bank at 200 points, prompting the message that 'you can't'. Thus, the round soft-locked. One could still quit to menu, but I thought it was amusing.

Tip: Quitting a game with the Quit button does not break a win streak. To get the badge, you can get any 100 badges of all 120. The award counter on the Hard badge is broken, so you should count your badges manually after a while.

Get pure zilches on your first game, check rules and scoring... and Bam! If you're going for achievements, you just earned 14 of them.

Easy badges - 292,972 awarded, Medium badges - 200,086 awarded, Hard badges - 9,560 awarded. Given this ratio, Greg, don't you think the Hard badge should be changed to an Impossible one, especially given that it undertracks your awards?

Might be a glitch, I get two Game Over messages when I lose the game. Or it could be because I am so bad at the game ;P

Seeing as you can't delete your own comments, I'd like to note that Realist is selecting one die and rerolling, which the player can also do- not getting the full score for both dice while taking one, which is what I was assuming. Feel free to downvote my prior comment.

Game does seem deceptively in favor of CPU. I was 7k in the lead with him rolling nothing but Zilch and then he was dropping 2k points instantly. I won with the cpu only 200 points short me. Fun game, but yeah something is fishy about the CPU.

To everyone who claims this game cheats. This is a game of probability, I've played this with actual die and yes you can get a ziltch with five die, its not common but possible. Now its also possible as I've seen once to get 10,000 or more on a single turn, also not likely but possible. If there is a probability of something happening then it will happen with enough chances.

"A dice game of great skill (and a little luck) where winning is all about knowing when to take the points and when to take a chance." That is a load of crap. More like a dice game of great luck (and a little skill)

The computer only seems like it's cheating because you don't understand what the word "random" means, and human brains are way pre-disposed to noticing patterns where there isn't one. This is why statistics exists, to tell you if what you are noticing is actually a pattern. If it's beating you but not all the people that voted it 4 or better, then there is one common factor in your losing all the time that you might not have noticed.

You don't have to click on the cards. If you've got a pair of ones or fives, you can click on the individual die that you want to keep. That's what the hardest AI does. It only keeps a single one or five in order to maximise the chance of a big roll next time.

Nice BoTD. Pick a game that hasn't worked correctly for years and will never get a update because the developer has passed. RIP mate.

OMG, turn on fast rolling. I was playing normally, grinding to get the medium badge, fooling around with the settings while Reckless rolled. My turn came with three rolls later I had over 3000 points. Yay badge. Reckless took his turn. For some reason he glitched and this little bubble kept popping up saying that he needed to select an amount before he could roll. It took him five minutes to figure it out, which is weird. After that I beat him by 8000 point as he just got zilch after zilch. I laughed so hard.
