Narde Tournament

If you like this game and want to practice, then it’s worth to play it once in a while. If you wanna compete with other players and have a fair and not rigged game, then it’s not for you! The game (like multiple other reviews already mentioned) system decides who is the winner from the beginning. If the gave decides that you have 5 and 3 dice 4 or 5 times in a raw then you will have those dice. My teacher always taught me that: One time it’s a luck. Two times its coincidence. Three and more times it’s cheating!

I’ve played this game a lot. It’s hard to prove I want to see the algo, but I have an impression that the algo is designed to get a rush. I get 6s opponent gets 5s at the end. I have all 4s opponent occupies my 1 I get 3s. Yes the odds of that are 1/36, but stuff like that seemingly happens a lot more than in a truly random game. Also when you are about to lose you get some good dice but you still lose. This creates a rush and expectation that you are closer to winning and desire to play and gamble again. Again without seeing the algo this is just a speculation but it’s based on many many games played. If the dice was straight it probably would not be as exciting of a game but I want to play a straight and not a gamification version of Narde.

Play this game often enough and you realize the dice are rigged. This game would be beyond perfect if it was a truly random dice toss. But it’s clear it’s rigged to anyone who plays. For example, the moment u open up a slot, the opponent gets the exact numbers needed to fill that slot. And it happens every time. I have played this game on a board for 18 years. The dice are rigged in this game. Make it random!
