snake charmer is practically impossible at normal

hmmmm, i might have to play with the advanced for a bit to scratch the itch

Finally broke 40k but it was a fluke. There is clearly a basic part of strategy for this game that I haven't worked out yet.

dont do it, i have had a hard time going back to normal...

Not at all. I like normal a lot more because it is balancd. Advanced is not, the high volume players have huge advantage and Alex´s scores are practically unbeatable.

Look at ginter. He has played a MASSIVE amount of advanced and only 2 scores in top 30.

Kokiri made 15th highest normal score - that´s pretty good. I´m not in top 30.

I think that it's clear that a big score is more about the rolls once you get a certain level of competence. The real skill is in making lemonade out of whatever junk you get, and so things where your score is directly comparable to other people's efforts are the best measure of skill, i think, which is why the daily challenge (which i usually do awfully at) and maybe the timed games (never played) are best.

I think now i luckboxed 50k, and advanced my way to a snakecharmer, i'll probably scale down to playing only the daily challenge. I'd definitely be more keen on other similar forms of multiplayer comparison than just hammering out more games.

At the moment, i think i have a pretty good handle on a relatively flexible start, and how to play when the rolls come out favourably, but when things go square, especially in rolls 4-7 say, i have no clue, and i think that changing horses mid stream is where the real skill is.

Timed is awesome. If I had more time I would play it more. Especially when the rolls are rigged and every kind of pregame strat you have (basic or Dynasty or woteva) goes out of the window, it is fun.

+1

We had a pretty good game going yesterday

BB finally posts itt

yesterday one of the games I lost horribly was because of some bug. It happens sometimes that I place a die and directly after that another die is unplaced and put back in your rack. Well, I didn´t notice it, grabbed a 2 instead of the 6 I wanted and placed it COMPLETELY AWFULLY, blocking my 6-chain and screwing my bonus LOL.

Anyway, that compensates for the game I won after I saw rack 9, placed the first number and was boomed back to rack 8. Knowing the final roll, I could replace rack 8

how does timed work? i can't see anything which says

It's basically like the daily game but it's timed. You get 4 minutes and you compete against whoever else is playing, with the same racks. Normal format. 30 second break between each game

Basically a daily challenge every 4.5 minutes.
Only interesting if you are not the only one playing.

It's a lot more interesting if the phone doesn't ring 2 games in a row.

Yay, a quick 47440 while snuck on at work (which makes it like 94880 IMO).

points on the bosses time count double for sure

I know what you mean.

totally crushed the daily challenge today. Good for.... 4th spot :O

Well you beat me

Last time I checked I was 2nd bottom

I should have tied Zac however I misplaced my last rack

TIMED!!

NOW!!

(awesome score today Bremen)

how often does this happen? we also both placed on the middle with our last die, it was pretty funny

It was. Tripling our score with the last die.

Was thinking about trying out advanced, but I have a question. After you have added abilities, can you unselect them at any point and respend the points?

yes

You can play around with abilities until you find the ones you like best. Also if you want to make things like goose egg and golden goose egg, you need other abilities than normal
