Board Game Arena

Would love to see BGA upgrade the dice animations. Right now a roll just shows a number with a quick effect. Simple and gets the job done, but it's a bit flat and more dice centric games really would benefit from this.

What I'm thinking is something like VTTs have (Ex: D&D Beyond, Roll20, etc..) where the dice actually tumble and bounce with physics-like animation before landing on the number.

Really think this would add a lot to dice-heavy games.

I think making it an optional toggle for people who want instant results or are on older devices/slower connections. Could even be a premium level bonus for supporters.

thanks for the consideration!

Not universally true. Take the dice animation in Spots. They're brilliant!

There's no site-wide way to change it on every game because each game is implemented independently. However, you can submit a formal suggestion for individual games where you think it would be nice.

This is a player-to-player discussion forum, not a formal way of submitting a suggestion. We're having a great discussion on it, but no changes are being directly considered.
