Fair enough.

They never went offline. The time between them taking a turn and me taking my last turn was virtually nothing. So, in this case I am most definitely assuming that it was deliberate. Also, they win most of their other games.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is probably a duck.

Thanks for letting me know, I was not aware of the game getting auto-abandoned. I have kicked them. It is such poor sportsmanship.

I'm just playing a game against a 600+ ELO player, they are losing/ have lost. In the penultimate turn they let the clock tick over to 5 mins before taking their turn. (They were always showing online) and they don't appear to be playing any other games. In the final turn we are now at nearly 20 min...

There is absolutely a problem with re-rolls. Turn on animated dice and you will see the same number presented after electing to re-roll, but no dice animation to accompany it.

But be happy. These folds are "money" in your bank.

To me a different pattern shows up. If i reroll, it's often the case that the second reroll shows the same number. I have the same experience. Or it seems to get stuck in a loop of the same number. I played a have where I was out with less than half my board full. All I seemed to rolled was 11 (usi...

Most valuable structure (combined value of all dice). It makes the risk of higher dice more rewarding (possibly)

I just came here (having posted about similar experiences as you in the past) to ask if it is possible to have some sort of notice in a 2p game, advising that it is a much more aggressive variant, or something. The constant complaints or mild abuse is the unbelievable. sone I report, some I let go. ...
