## FAQ

### 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.
