• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Too often when I play with people who have no experience with the game and at the end of the game, the dice make moves that lose the game.
I play very often in real life, and I can assure you that it does not happen like that!!!!!
We make a strategy, we are in a position to win, and in 2 seconds the dice overturn the game, it's just impossible to play like that when you know the game.
It happens too often and it gets tiring!!!!
there are too many doubles too.

I noticed an unrealistic high number of cases where opponent repeats my dices or I repeat his. There are better dice generators algorithms available.
Probably, the issue impacts on most games, but becomes more visible in Backgammon
Four of my last six rolls were doubles to beat an opponent. The randomizer is NOT working.
Dices are more then fustrating here and I never saw that anywhere else. :(
regards
I repeatedly tell to myself that I will stop playing and losing my time for what seems to be totally biased dice throws.
Whatever the direction (my opponent or I are obsecenely favoured...) I hate to play like this when dice totally influence the issue of the game.
And as a player of backgammon, I understand that sometimes this is like this in real life but never to that degree.
I am not a programmer and can not discuss algorithms or else but I can tell you it gives the impression a bias is given to the game perhaps to get more excitement and turn some difficult situations around or I do not know why..but I can tell you this is terribly frustrating.
2 suggestions :
1) could we have the guarantee or a change so that dice are truly randomly generated.
2) would there be a way to implement a duplicate mode where same dice rolls would be presented to players and only the comparative results would be considered for the ranking.
Please do consider our feedback and answer our frustration !
Or I and possibly many other will quit.
I find the Yahtzee rolls devastatingly punishing.
I find the Can't Stop rolls unnaturally repetitive.
C'est usant de jouer dans des conditions pareilles. Là mon adversaire a fait 4 doubles sur 5 lancers.
Ne me dites pas que ca peut arriver statistiquement.
Ca ruine et fausse 1 jeu sur 3 ou 4 à vue de nez.
Et quelque soit le sens : gagner ou perdre dans des conditions pareilles n'est pas satisfaisant.
SVP : un algorithme de vrai hasard sans AUCUNE correction.
Je ne connais rien à la programmation mais ne me dites pas que c'est le cas, parce que dans la vraie vie c'est different. Ca arrive une fois de temsp en temps mais pas aussi constamment.
Merci de votre aide pour adresser ce point qui rendra notre vie sur BGA tellement moins "stressante" !
and
en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Main_game_logic:_yourgamename.game.php#About_random_and_randomness
The random generator is cprrect and certified by the thousand and thousand game already played and statistics.
To reduce the random impact of the game, you can try the alpha backgammon matchplay game, with several points goal and the doubling cube.
Best regards
