Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
The random number generator for this game does not seem to work properly. If you roll 2d6 (two normal dice), the probabilities for each number are weighted most toward the middle numbers, six(13.89%), seven (16.67%), and eight (13.89%). This means that 44.45% of the time, the dice should equal one of those three numbers. After more than 80 plays of this game, I can tell you that there is no way those percentages are holding up. What appears to be happening is an even chance (9.09%) of rolling each number from 2 through 12, rather than the proper spread we should be seeing. The end result is an overwhelming amount of rolls away from what should be the most commonly rolled numbers.

Report history
Also, we had the same 4 players and selected replay option. The game displays message saying that player order is randomized, but we were in same order each game.
I had purchased sectors and set my board up to give me victory points any time I rolled a 7 or above. I rolled victory points once, and has to spend a cube to move to victory points a second time. It is ridiculous that in 50+ turns I could not roll a 7 or above. Fix your dice roller!
A simple solution for tracking dice throws is already there. All that needs to change with the stats at the end is to breakout a second column so that you can see the occurrences of single die results, then the second column shows "Two-Die" results. Right now having them combined is meaningless, but to see those separately, along with a total column at the end, will give you easily scrapeable data. One game of course won't be enough (anyone who's played roulette and seen a run of 50 reds knows what I'm talking about), and you'll have to extrapolate for 1's and 12 over 2 and 6's, but seeing that data over dozens of games might help people see if it's truly close to random.
