Dice have always been at the heart of games because they introduce an element of both chance and unpredictability, but all the experiences you’ve shared with us, as well as our own, have made us realize that we need to be able to adapt the randomness of games: don’t let the dice dictate the outcome any longer! No roll of the dice should ever produce the same result several times in a row, and you’ll have a better chance of getting the face you want with 7 Wonder Dice.
Through millions of games played, we have been able to refine a roll model that naturally adapts to each game according to its rules: it cannot be identical between a game of Backgammon, Catan, King of Tokyo or Krosmaster Arena. This analysis was made possible using the famous ‘bga_rand’ function, which is used for every dice and card roll. It is this function, both obscure and misunderstood, that lies at the heart of your gaming experience and is mentioned in our FAQ (1).
Optimize your chances of winning in all dice games and beat your own records at Yahtzee.
SETUP
From the next update of our site, you will therefore be able to join game tables with different dice roll options:
- Smooth: to ensure a perfectly balanced distribution of results: a D6 will therefore have exactly as many 1s as 6s in your game (provided there are at least 6 dice rolls; beyond that, the results obtained cannot appear in excess). This should allow you to anticipate your next moves as effectively as possible.
- Beneficial: to force an extraordinary stroke of luck and frustrate your opponents. We do, however, recommend this option for cooperative games.
- Chaotic: to favor dice rolls that will further destabilize your opponents’ plans and lead to unexpected situations.
- Physical: which requires you to shake your phone or mouse before each roll to maximize your luck
- Home Advantage: to favor only the table host (reserved for Premium accounts only)
ELO ADJUSTMENT
As these changes affect the outcome of ranked matches, we will be revising the ELO system so that it better reflects your skill level for each game. Aware that luck is a key factor in success or failure, we will introduce a luck score. This score will let you know how luck is playing a part in your victories. It will also allow you to check your opponents’ luck levels and restrict access to your tables for players who are too lucky.
This luck score will be reset on the 1st of each month and will evolve separately from your ELO.
TOURNAMENTS
As the roll of the dice will be influenced by the options, the tournament organizer should take great care to avoid any chaos or abuse that might hinder the smooth running of the tournament.
Please note that “Advantage” mode will only be available for official tournaments and at the organizers’ discretion.
Finally, as “Beneficial” mode may result in longer games in certain extreme cases, we will adjust the effects based on your feedback.
ARENA MODE
To avoid disrupting the current Arena season, the dice roll options will evolve over the course of the 6-week Arena period without the need for the gurus to intervene:
- “Smooth” for the first 2 weeks
- “Beneficial” in the middle of the season
- “Chaotic” for the final two weeks
The “Physical” mode is not applicable in the Arena for obvious reasons of fairness.
Furthermore, an adjustment will be made based on your Arena tier and that of your opponent, so that the supposedly weaker player may occasionally benefit from certain advantageous effects. In short, players in the Bronze League will have an advantage over those in the Elite League.
JOIN OUR GAMEFOUND CAMPAIGN
In addition to the various game modes, as we are committed to being a true complement to physical games, we are in the process of signing an agreement with a games accessory manufacturer to integrate these mechanics into real dice.
They will incorporate a unique, patented component: the miniaturized BGA Random Chip, which will adapt the dice rolls to suit your game type. You will then be able to change the roll settings from your phone before the games begin. An anti-cheating mechanism will be built in to ensure that every player around the table is alerted via a vibration in the dice if the configuration changes during the game.
You’ll even be able to pair your dice with your BGA account to enjoy a live feed of your rolls from your living room table directly into your BGA games (be careful not to leave multiple tabs open with different tables, as results cannot be guaranteed).
A Gamefound campaign will be launched in April to allow you to get exclusive designs.
Here is a sneak preview of the first design proposed for this campaign.
Moving forward, we are currently considering adapting the BGA Random Chip directly into the playing cards to achieve a more harmonious shuffle of your cards, which could even be integrated into booster packs.
(1) We are aware that some players may have been alarmed by the non-random nature of this function’s results during our testing phases. We had to replace it several times with a more random function when some players conducted in-depth analyses without our knowledge.
BGA Rick Roll
骰子一直是遊戲的核心，因為它們引入了機會和不可預測性。但是，你們和我們分享的所有經驗都讓我們意識到，我們需要能夠調整遊戲中的隨機性：**別再讓骰子決定結果了！ ** 任何一次擲骰子都不應該連續幾次出現相同的結果，而使用 7 Wonder Dice，您將更有可能擲出您想要的點數。
經過數百萬場遊戲的測試，我們不斷完善擲骰模型，使其能夠根據每款遊戲的規則自然地進行調整：無論是西洋雙陸棋、卡坦島、東京之王還是克羅斯大師競技場，擲骰模型都不可能完全相同。這項分析得益於著名的「bga_rand」函數，該函數用於每次擲骰和擲牌。這個函數雖然晦澀難懂，卻也是您遊戲體驗的核心，我們在常見問題 (1) 中對此有所提及。
提高您在所有骰子遊戲中獲勝的幾率，並在 Yahtzee 遊戲中打破您自己的記錄。
設定
從我們網站的下次更新開始，您將能夠加入具有不同骰子擲點選項的遊戲桌：
- 平滑：為了確保結果分佈完美平衡，在遊戲中，每個六面骰子（D6）中1和6的出現次數將完全相同（前提是至少擲6次骰子；超過6次，任何結果都不會出現過多的情況）。這將有助於您盡可能有效地預測下一步。
- 優勢：可以創造一次超乎尋常的運氣，並挫敗對手。不過，我們建議在合作遊戲中使用此選項。
- 混亂：有利於擲骰子，從而進一步破壞對手的計劃，並導致意想不到的情況。
- 物理操作：每次擲骰子前需要搖晃手機或滑鼠，以最大程度地提高運氣。
- 主場優勢：僅對桌主有利（僅限尊榮會員）
ELO調整
由於這些改變會影響排位賽的結果，我們將調整ELO系統，使其更好地反映您在每場比賽中的技術水平。考慮到運氣在成敗中扮演著重要角色，我們將引入運氣值。該分數將讓您了解運氣在您的勝利中所起的作用。您也可以查看對手的運氣值，並限制運氣過好的玩家進入您的牌桌。
*此幸運值將於每月1日重置，且與您的ELO值無關。 *
錦標賽
由於擲骰子的結果會受到選項的影響，比賽組織者應格外小心，避免任何可能妨礙比賽順利進行的混亂或濫用行為。
請注意，「優勢模式」僅適用於官方賽事，且由賽事主辦單位自行決定是否啟用。
最後，由於「有益」模式在某些極端情況下可能會導致遊戲時間延長，我們將根據您的回饋調整其效果。
ARENA MODE
為避免干擾當前的競技場賽季，擲骰選項將在為期 6 週的競技場賽季期間逐步演變，無需專家幹預：
- 前兩週“平穩”
- 賽季中期的“有益” 最後兩週「一片混亂」。
出於公平性的考慮，競技場不適用「物理」模式，這一點顯而易見。
Furthermore, an adjustment will be made based on your Arena tier and that of your opponent, so that the supposedly weaker player may occasionally benefit from certain advantageous effects. In short, players in the Bronze League will have an advantage over those in the Elite League.
加入我們的GameFound活動
除了各種遊戲模式之外，由於我們致力於成為實體遊戲的真正補充，我們正在與一家遊戲配件製造商簽署協議，將這些機制整合到真正的骰子中。
它們將採用獨特的專利組件：微型BGA隨機晶片，該晶片可根據您的遊戲類型調整骰子的擲點。您可以在遊戲開始前透過手機更改擲點設定。此外，還內建了防作弊機制，確保在遊戲過程中如果配置發生更改，骰子會振動提醒桌上的每位玩家。
您甚至可以將骰子與您的 BGA 帳戶配對，從而將您在客廳桌子上擲骰子的即時畫面直接傳輸到您的 BGA 遊戲中（請注意不要打開多個不同桌子的標籤頁，因為無法保證結果）。
Gamefound 將於四月發起一項活動，屆時您將有機會獲得獨家設計。
以下是本次活動提出的首個設計方案的預覽。
展望未來，我們目前正在考慮將 BGA 隨機晶片直接整合到撲克牌中，以實現更和諧的洗牌效果，甚至可以將其整合到補充包中。
*(1) 我們注意到，在測試階段，部分玩家可能會對函數結果的非隨機性感到擔憂。由於一些玩家在未經我們許可的情況下進行了深入分析，我們不得不多次將其替換為更具隨機性的函數。 *
