that is not a bug, it's a feature, the snakes use ice dice which give a penalty to your roll by decreasing your luck. by the end of the snake round your luck is so low it's hard to roll anything higher than a 1. (we did this to add more stratagy) the two boxes beneath your energy are your draw deck and discard pile (they don't really effect game play too much) thanks so much for playing our game, glad you enjoyed it.
I'll say that I died at first and didn't really understand why at first. I was super glad that there was a checkpoint system and I could start the game back from right where I died. It has been a couple of days so maybe you have this but something that shows what my luck is at could be really useful! Like the Fire dice become the go to since you can roll multiple ones and deal more damage (I think)
