Martian Dice is in alpha!

[KuWizard]

Hello everyone!

A nice and a very quick filler Martian Dice is here in the alpha state! Rules are super simple but playing is much fun. Please take a look at it here: https://boardgamearena.com/reviewer?game=martiandice

This is my first game but I really want to make it live and I'll try to answer all suggestions and bugs (BTW link to report and suggest new things: https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=1239). I've already got some suggestions from Emmanuel Colin to make dice more dice-looking and make some animation of rolling, please feel free to suggest too.
I'm not sure if it makes sense to enable solo game even on alpha stage but maybe it does because of lack of players. Please comment if you want a solo mode enabled. Rules were saying it can be played from 2 to 99 people but I personally think 10+ people will increase downtime significantly and kill all the fun.

Thanks for taking a look, I hope together we can make it better!

This is great news! My group plays Martian Dice every time we get together, and it's always the last game of the session. So glad it's here on BGA! As for implementing a solo mode, it would be certainly be useful for testing purposes, so... yes please.

How would you like bugs/suggestions reported? In the discussion area? Through the bug reporting system?

I wanted to propose a hotseat mode to you but then I tried and it seems this mode works absolutely horrible on BGA. I will add this ability today or tomorrow. BTW lots of players already play and vote for this game to be moved forward to beta so I think you can find some players online especially at evening.
But yes, no problem, I will extend number of players to 1
As for bugs - BGA bugtracker is the perfect place, I have some bugs and suggestions there already: https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=1239

Would it be possible to add my group of (non-reviewer eligible) players to the players group such that I could play it with them for more exposure?

Any chance of getting some non-review players in on the fun pre-beta?

or else an ETA for beta? I'd love to add this to my group's repertoire...
