I understand HOW to use the bonus die. and this is probably a moot point on BGA since the computer is doing everything for us...
But I don't understand WHEN I get to use the bonus die. When I have dice that I have not used after claiming cards, there is a message:
"Remaining die will be sent to...
Bonus die"
or
"Reserve" (down next to cards I have claimed)
WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHICH PLACE IT GOES?
So far, it seems that it goes to RESERVE when
-- the other player currently has one or more dice with the bonus
-- I have just used the bonus die on the turn I am finishing
But sometimes it says it is going to RESERVE but it goes to bonus.
As I said, I know the computer is making the moves, [including making the final roll for whoever gets to do so] but I would just like to understand why it is happening.
