Luck is the one - but a good game design shoud be based on equal opportunities.
Some small changes in the algorithm and this game would be great.
But like this: lower player had no chance

I think this view is kind of refreshing on the forums.

I mean: There are countless threads with accusations that the rolls are rigged in many different flavors. It's awsome for once to have a thread that's coming from the total opposite of the spectrum and asking for the dice/cards/tiles to be less random and more rigged.

You cannot pretend to had a better equal opportunities in a game with luck and random numbers. If you want that, just check for another game of that type, there is a lot that depend of your strategy only, no luck.

It's not up to the developer to change any of the rules. If you'd play it on the table, you also would draw the tiles completely random. Every game here just mirrors how it's played live at the table.

Secondly, the devs don't have access to the ELO scores of a player, so it wouldn't even possible to do.

doesn't prevent the trolls "From my point of few this game is really badly programmed."

It’s funny. This game currently plays perfectly. It’s just like playing the box version.

And the logarithm of 1000 is 3.

It depends. It can be 6.9078, or 9.9658, or any other number

The game is great and depending on the numbers you draw determines if you are going to have a chance of winning, scoring that has a component of your probability of winning is unrealistic, lower level players have the same chance of winning as higher level players, so scoring impacts should be equal and not determined by elo or ranking. I used to pay to play this game but won't any more until this changes.
