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
Kocke so bile vedno v središču iger, ker vnašajo element naključja in nepredvidljivosti, toda vse izkušnje, ki ste jih delili z nami, pa tudi naše lastne, so nas spodbudile k spoznanju, da moramo biti sposobni prilagoditi naključnost iger: ne dovolite, da kocke več narekujejo izid! Noben met kocke ne sme nikoli dati enakega rezultata večkrat zapored, s 7 Wonder Dice pa boste imeli večjo možnost, da dobite želeni obraz.
Z milijoni odigranih iger smo uspeli izpopolniti model metanja, ki se naravno prilagaja vsaki igri glede na njena pravila: ne more biti enak igri Backgammon, Catan, King of Tokyo ali Krosmaster Arena. Ta analiza je bila omogočena z uporabo znane funkcije 'bga_rand', ki se uporablja za vsak met kocke in karte. Prav ta funkcija, ki je hkrati nejasna in nerazumljena, je v središču vaše igralne izkušnje in je omenjena v naših pogostih vprašanjih (1).
Optimizirajte svoje možnosti za zmago v vseh igrah s kockami in premagajte lastne rekorde pri Yahtzeeju.
NASTAVITEV
Od naslednje posodobitve naše spletne strani se boste tako lahko pridružili igralnim mizam z različnimi možnostmi metanja kock:
- Gladko: za zagotovitev popolnoma uravnotežene porazdelitve rezultatov: kocka D6 bo torej imela v vaši igri natanko toliko enic kot šestic (pod pogojem, da je metov kocke vsaj 6; po tem času se dobljeni rezultati ne smejo pojaviti v presežku). To bi vam moralo omogočiti, da čim bolj učinkovito predvidite svoje naslednje poteze.
- Koristno: za izsiljevanje izjemne sreče in frustriranje nasprotnikov. Vendar pa to možnost priporočamo za kooperativne igre.
- Kaotično: dajanje prednosti metom kock, ki bodo še dodatno destabilizirali načrte nasprotnikov in privedli do nepričakovanih situacij.
- Fizično: ki zahteva, da pred vsakim metom stresete telefon ali miško, da povečate svojo srečo
- Prednost doma: dajanje prednosti samo gostitelju mize (rezervirano samo za Premium račune)
PRILAGODITEV ELO
Ker te spremembe vplivajo na izid tekem z uvrstitvami, bomo sistem ELO spremenili, da bo bolje odražal vašo raven spretnosti za vsako igro. Zavedajoč se, da je sreča ključni dejavnik uspeha ali neuspeha, bomo uvedli oceno sreče. Ta ocena vam bo pokazala, kako sreča vpliva na vaše zmage. Omogočila vam bo tudi preverjanje ravni sreče nasprotnikov in omejitev dostopa do vaših miz igralcem, ki imajo preveč sreče.
Ta ocena sreče se bo ponastavila 1. v mesecu in se bo razvijala ločeno od vašega ELO.
TURNIRJI
Ker bodo možnosti vplivale na met kocke, mora organizator turnirja zelo paziti, da se izogne kakršnemu koli kaosu ali zlorabi, ki bi lahko ovirale nemoten potek turnirja.
Upoštevajte, da bo način »Prednost« na voljo le za uradne turnirje in po presoji organizatorjev.
Končno, ker lahko način »Ugodno« v nekaterih ekstremnih primerih povzroči daljše igre, bomo učinke prilagodili glede na vaše povratne informacije.
NAČIN ARENE
Da bi se izognili motnjam v trenutni sezoni Arene, se bodo možnosti metanja kock razvijale skozi 6-tedensko obdobje Arene brez potrebe po posredovanju gurujev:
- "Gladko" prva 2 tedna
- »Ugodno« sredi sezone
- »Kaotično« v zadnjih dveh tednih
Način »Fizični« v Areni ni uporaben zaradi očitnih razlogov pravičnosti.
Poleg tega bo prilagoditev izvedena glede na vašo raven Arene in raven vašega nasprotnika, tako da bo domnevno šibkejši igralec občasno lahko imel koristi od določenih ugodnih učinkov. Skratka, igralci v Bronasti ligi bodo imeli prednost pred tistimi v Elitni ligi.
PRIDRUŽITE SE NAŠI KAMPANJI GAMEFOUND
Poleg različnih igralnih načinov smo zavezani k temu, da bi bili resnično dopolnilo fizičnim igram, zato smo v postopku podpisa pogodbe s proizvajalcem igralne opreme za integracijo teh mehanizmov v prave kocke.
Vključevali bodo edinstveno, patentirano komponento: miniaturiziran čip BGA Random Chip, ki bo prilagodil met kocke vaši vrsti igre. Nastavitve meta boste nato lahko spremenili s telefona, preden se igre začnejo. Vgrajen bo mehanizem proti goljufanju, ki bo zagotovil, da bo vsak igralec za mizo z vibracijo kocke opozorjen, če se konfiguracija med igro spremeni.
Svoje kocke boste lahko celo povezali s svojim BGA računom in si tako ogledali svoje mete v živo iz mize v dnevni sobi neposredno v svoje BGA igre (pazite, da ne pustite odprtih več zavihkov z različnimi mizami, saj rezultatov ni mogoče zagotoviti).
Aprila se bo začela kampanja Gamefound, ki vam bo omogočila pridobitev ekskluzivnih dizajnov.
Tukaj je predogled prvega predloga za to kampanjo.
V prihodnje trenutno razmišljamo o tem, da bi BGA Random Chip vgradili neposredno v igralne karte, da bi dosegli bolj harmonično mešanje kart, kar bi lahko celo vključili v booster pakete.
(1) Zavedamo se, da so bili nekateri igralci med našim testiranjem morda zaskrbljeni zaradi nenaključne narave rezultatov te funkcije. Večkrat smo jo morali zamenjati z bolj naključno funkcijo, ko so nekateri igralci brez naše vednosti izvedli poglobljene analize.
