Option to pass on double dice when blocked out

Post by Bejam23 »

I'm playing a game where one player has pieces taken but can't land them as all the spaces in the home sector are occupied. The double dice has been used so it is this players turn to double next. After every turn of the only player who can move, the taken player has to confirm they don't want to double (the board situation makes this unlikely) before the other playing can continue moving their pieces into their home. It will take some time until it is possible for the taken player to be able to roll but this will play out over days rather than minutes.

is there an option for the blocked player to decline doubling so the game can be played faster?
if not, can it be considered for a future update please?

Yes. They can click on the doubling die to "lock it," which tells the game they aren't interested in doubling.

If they decide they don't want it locked, they can click on it again at any time to unlock it.
