Ronin Gambit: questions
Before you play
How do I know the dice aren't rigged?
You can check for yourself. Before the first roll the game shows a sealed number, every roll comes from it, and the number is revealed when the game ends. Tap the Sealed Cup at any time to look.
Can I play online or against a friend?
Not in this version. Ronin Gambit is you against the Warlord, one game at a time, with a running score kept for the session.
How good is the Warlord?
Good enough to punish mistakes. It weighs every roll you could reply with and plays for what wins: building primes, holding an anchor in your home board, keeping its checkers out of reach. Leave a blot lying around and it will hit it.
I've never used the doubling cube. How does it work?
Every game starts worth one point. If you think you're ahead, double: the Warlord must either play on for two points or give up one now. The app spells out both outcomes in points, and there's no clock, so take your time.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. No ads, no purchases, no account, no data collected and no internet needed, and all eight houses are included from the start.
