I think it's kinda fun, I love the art and the characters. The time it takes doesn't seem to be worth the np though. I also don't like that you have to pick two characters. I'd rather just have to win once.

The way the game works is pretty dumb and I wouldn't be surprisd if they decided to make changes on it really soon. You can build up a high score simply by stalling and trying to build points by doing things such as returning to the start or rolling too high at the end. It's a good concept, but I don't think they pulled it off too great.

And waiting for the computers at the end is dumb even though you can still just press the 'End Game' button to finish it right there and get the same amount of points.

This, however, is a great multiplayer game if you were to play with a friend.

I know I have a ridiculous username, but it felt odd to change it from the one I have on Neopets.

I'm a little dumb I think. I can't seem to roll the die. I'm clicking on it, but it's not working.

Er, what am I doing wrong?

What browser/OS are you using? My husband had that problem using Firefox in Linux. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet to see if it works in Firefox in windows.

The dice won't roll for me, either. I'm using a mac.

I have a question .. how are people getting such high scores ? I am thinking that I am missing something . The first few times I tried to get through as fast as I could but got very little points . I guess it might have to do with that and trying to get put back to start etc ... am I even close ? Just am baffled as to how someone can get 5000 ?? I hope I am posting this right . Thanks everyone :)

Well... the way the game works makes it so that you earn points simply by rrolling (A roll of 6 will get you six points) even if you don't end up going anywhere, or even if you hit a square that makes you go back to the start. Therefore, you can get high scores simply by stalling as much as possible. One strategy would be to move one of your characters to the square directly before the finish, while the other waits at the beginning, and after you get that one there, only move the other character when you roll a one.

You end up building up massive points, and if you manage to work it out right you could get unlimited points.

Yep. If you hit a space that makes you go back, even though it might cost you 10/45/2 points, you'd still end up with a few extra points when you return to that spot. [except the sand dunes]
Furthermore, the easiest way to get 'unlimited points got to be that...

Let's say that I have chosen Tomos and Nabile.
1. Make sure that Tomos has not reached the last red spot, since landing there would bring him a few spaces back.
2. Get the other character, i.e. Nabile, to stand 1 space away from the 'exit'.
3. When a new roll is larger than 1, 'move' Nabile. Else, move Tomos.

btw, firefox in windows works.

is this still working? whenever i roll a die when the character is one spot from the end, it does not give me those points if i can not move those spaces.
