Ferris seems to have the unfair advantage - he won 3 times in a row.

Developer

Yeah whoever goes first has a considerable advantage. Once we make the map bigger, the items will help level the playing field.

You don't need to "level the playing field". Unfair advantage is the whole point.

Developer

Heh, true, but we wanted the unfair advantage to come from the items that change the die weights, not just "whoever goes first wins."

interesting start for a game. I got a several dungeons that it made the most sense to just sprint for the goal.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed sometimes the generated map doesn't actually require you do go anywhere except straight for the goal, since it's all just randomly generated. We're working on getting the camera to zoom in and follow the player. Then the map can be even bigger and once the initial travel distance is greater (you can change this in the settings) these sprint maps will be very unlikely.
