This game is an absolute delight! I love the mechanics and the scenario. It's addictive and spookily endearing.
I did start trying to roll exactly in the sweet spot of neither losing nor winning so that I could postpone earning enough notoriety that the game ended, and instead focus on accumulating as many dice as possible, lol.
Great work! I see that your high standings in the contest reflect the achievement -- those are great numbers in a huge field.
