I believe the creator that the game isn't rigged. However, I disagree with his claim that it is more than a very tiny bit skill-based. "Skill" in this game comes from a series of simple probability math; the optimal strategy is not that difficult to calculate. However, even using such a strategy against the "easy" CPU, the winner is still far more likely to be the player who rolls more 1000+-scoring turns, which has virtually nothing to do with skill. This is made worse by the "awards", which largely seem to be about having absurd lucky streaks. On that note, luck-based games should NEVER have Hard badges IMO. 2/5

The only thing I dislike more than this game is the dedicated group of idiots that vote to hide negative comments and chide everyone (about 80-90% of all posters) who dares not love it as a sore loser. This game is obviously not even close to random. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar or an idiot. The only place this game would be considered fair is a Vegas Casino. Stop hiding negative comments. People need to know how crooked this game is.

I'm going to have to agree with barky2000, this game is terrible. Maybe someone could re-do the algorithm for the random dice rolls because the computer seems to have the unfair advantage even on reckless.

@Net, you're a moron if you think you're more likely to get hit by a meteorite than roll six ones when rolling six dice.

oh and for you fools who either 1: useless at the game and just insult people to make yourselves feel better or 2: rated this game lowly you are idiots

R.I.P gaby you made one hell of a game that i can keep coming back to again and again and i always still enjoy it so much, thanks for being such a great game designer.

Not fair. There are 10 awards related to Zilch free games. It’s very hard to get a Zilch free game and playing with extreme caution is very boring!

Due to how hard the game cheats, giving the CPU better initial rolls, more free rolls, and safer rerolls, Reckless is not actually any easier than Cautious.

every other round. it cheats. shamelessly! if I were to keep track of the point values of the initial rolls for myself and the CPU, this would be patently obvious.

I don't play the game for a year and then come back to learn that the dev has died. Sorry to see the dev of such a good game go.

Yeah, I got exactly 10,000 point after realist got that 10,000 point. I agree that I lost the game. What I have an objection about is, I got no medals like 'tight finish' or 'scraping your knuckles' by that game!

!@#$ this. I was 2k pts ahead of a cautious computer then it got 2 "1,2,3,4,5,6" rolls in a row and another 500 pts on the third roll making him pull ahead by 1500 pts. !@#$ this.

Wow I've played about 20 games now and I have quit each one before it ended because the computer was kicking my ass. Doesn't sound like chance to me.

Wow, starting roll in the next game, reckless got 3,450 in 3 consecutive free rolls. Wtf is this rigged because the computer seems to only get insanely odd-defying rolls when I'm doing good.

I love the way this game gives you awards, even when you're doing really badly. It's very motivating. I also love the comments as the game progresses. Very amusing and fun game. Thanks Gaby. :)

I do like this game for the concept, but raginmjolnir is right--this game cheats like a dirty little robot whore. It's like: Me--two fifty's and then a Zilch. Opponent--1500, 1500, 1200 plus two pair in one turn. How do you compete with that? Answer: You don't. 3/5. Could have been 5/5 but for the virtual inequity.

I played this in real life alot before playing on here and you've done a great job!! Its totally realistic the dice can be so so lucky one game and so unlucky the next. Good job Gaby!!

In the middle of the game, the realist had 1100 points already and rolled the 6th die for a zilch instead of banking. I'm not sure how realistic he is.
