I used to feel the same way as ficheye until I just garbaged the game. Best move I made since I bought the game a few years ago. I can only say to prospective buyers to go ahead and try the demo and find out by yourselves.
No use to argue with Gammonsoft, since he cannot be neutral about the game, he is trying to make some money with it. What do you expect his comments will be. Make your own opinion and try it before buying.
Its quite obvious this game is programmed to be adictive and what better way than roll the dices in a manner to get the player in a mood where he wants to get even with its opponent, the computer. I would describe the ramdomness of the dice rolls as being convenient, to say the least, in favor of the computer.
But I must say that after a while, the pattern does change in favor of the player and all I can say is that its very addictive indeed. :-)
This said, I only wish the dice rolls where really random.
Unfortunatly, I have purchased this game a couple of years ago and my computer crahed. My password became obsolete. I have writen M. Byrum about that, but he has never offered me a solution to this problem. Will never purchase anything else from him.
