Board Game Arena

In games like Catan, its so frustrating and game deciding that the dice can be so skewed, not saying that the algorithms for dice are wrong, but you get games where some numbers just dominate and completely decide outcome.

Cant you offer a card deck dice scheme for some or all games using two or more dice either with a fixed number of "cards" or variable. It should be quite easy to programme, just make a table with all combinations like 3-4, , 4-3, 2-4 and so forth and their probality. THen youll get a table of like 4-3 is 7 rolls compared to 1 roll of 1-1, and multiply that table by say 1 or whatever. Then instead of using random dice, the random part is what dice will be chosen from the table, removing that dice combo from the deck after chosen, thus ensuring that all dice combinations gets a fair distribution. The number of "decks" used will then be the decider on how fast dice reaches their natural distribution.

Please, Please. I cant understand you havent offered this long time ago. Ill be happy to assist with the math if you want. All im suggesting is to offer it as an option.

It's not offered because it's not in the rules of the game. No house rules are allowed so unless the developer says ok it won't happen.

In any case forcing a natural distribution would actually make the game more unfair. It would just become a game of card counting and playing the odds.

You have "accepted" that the dice rolls aren't skewed, so nonyou don't like the way that dice rolls can go against you I would suggest staying away that have a lot of RNG
