Dice have always been at the heart of games because they introduce an element of both chance and unpredictability, but all the experiences you’ve shared with us, as well as our own, have made us realize that we need to be able to adapt the randomness of games: don’t let the dice dictate the outcome any longer! No roll of the dice should ever produce the same result several times in a row, and you’ll have a better chance of getting the face you want with 7 Wonder Dice.
Through millions of games played, we have been able to refine a roll model that naturally adapts to each game according to its rules: it cannot be identical between a game of Backgammon, Catan, King of Tokyo or Krosmaster Arena. This analysis was made possible using the famous ‘bga_rand’ function, which is used for every dice and card roll. It is this function, both obscure and misunderstood, that lies at the heart of your gaming experience and is mentioned in our FAQ (1).

SETUP
From the next update of our site, you will therefore be able to join game tables with different dice roll options:
- Smooth: to ensure a perfectly balanced distribution of results: a D6 will therefore have exactly as many 1s as 6s in your game (provided there are at least 6 dice rolls; beyond that, the results obtained cannot appear in excess). This should allow you to anticipate your next moves as effectively as possible.
- Beneficial: to force an extraordinary stroke of luck and frustrate your opponents. We do, however, recommend this option for cooperative games.
- Chaotic: to favor dice rolls that will further destabilize your opponents’ plans and lead to unexpected situations.
- Physical: which requires you to shake your phone or mouse before each roll to maximize your luck
- Home Advantage: to favor only the table host (reserved for Premium accounts only)
ELO ADJUSTMENT
As these changes affect the outcome of ranked matches, we will be revising the ELO system so that it better reflects your skill level for each game. Aware that luck is a key factor in success or failure, we will introduce a luck score. This score will let you know how luck is playing a part in your victories. It will also allow you to check your opponents’ luck levels and restrict access to your tables for players who are too lucky.
This luck score will be reset on the 1st of each month and will evolve separately from your ELO.
TOURNAMENTS
As the roll of the dice will be influenced by the options, the tournament organizer should take great care to avoid any chaos or abuse that might hinder the smooth running of the tournament.
Please note that “Advantage” mode will only be available for official tournaments and at the organizers’ discretion.
Finally, as “Beneficial” mode may result in longer games in certain extreme cases, we will adjust the effects based on your feedback.
ARENA MODE
To avoid disrupting the current Arena season, the dice roll options will evolve over the course of the 6-week Arena period without the need for the gurus to intervene:
- “Smooth” for the first 2 weeks
- “Beneficial” in the middle of the season
- “Chaotic” for the final two weeks
The “Physical” mode is not applicable in the Arena for obvious reasons of fairness.
Furthermore, an adjustment will be made based on your Arena tier and that of your opponent, so that the supposedly weaker player may occasionally benefit from certain advantageous effects. In short, players in the Bronze League will have an advantage over those in the Elite League.
JOIN OUR GAMEFOUND CAMPAIGN
In addition to the various game modes, as we are committed to being a true complement to physical games, we are in the process of signing an agreement with a games accessory manufacturer to integrate these mechanics into real dice.
They will incorporate a unique, patented component: the miniaturized BGA Random Chip, which will adapt the dice rolls to suit your game type. You will then be able to change the roll settings from your phone before the games begin. An anti-cheating mechanism will be built in to ensure that every player around the table is alerted via a vibration in the dice if the configuration changes during the game.
You’ll even be able to pair your dice with your BGA account to enjoy a live feed of your rolls from your living room table directly into your BGA games (be careful not to leave multiple tabs open with different tables, as results cannot be guaranteed).
A Gamefound campaign will be launched in April to allow you to get exclusive designs.
Here is a sneak preview of the first design proposed for this campaign.
Moving forward, we are currently considering adapting the BGA Random Chip directly into the playing cards to achieve a more harmonious shuffle of your cards, which could even be integrated into booster packs.
(1) We are aware that some players may have been alarmed by the non-random nature of this function’s results during our testing phases. We had to replace it several times with a more random function when some players conducted in-depth analyses without our knowledge.
BGA Rick Roll
Terninger har altid været kernen i spil, fordi de introducerer et element af både tilfældighed og uforudsigelighed, men alle de oplevelser, du har delt med os, såvel som vores egne, har fået os til at indse, at vi er nødt til at være i stand til at tilpasse tilfældigheden i spil: lad ikke terningerne diktere resultatet længere! Intet terningkast bør nogensinde give det samme resultat flere gange i træk, og du får en bedre chance for at få det ansigt, du ønsker, med 7 Wonder Dice.
Gennem millioner af spillede spil har vi været i stand til at forfine en terningkastmodel, der naturligt tilpasser sig hvert spil i henhold til dets regler: den kan ikke være identisk mellem et spil Backgammon, Catan, King of Tokyo eller Krosmaster Arena. Denne analyse blev muliggjort ved hjælp af den berømte 'bga_rand'-funktion, som bruges til hvert terning- og kortkast. Det er denne funktion, både uklar og misforstået, der er kernen i din spiloplevelse og er nævnt i vores FAQ (1).

OPSÆTNING
Fra den næste opdatering af vores hjemmeside vil du derfor kunne deltage i spilleborde med forskellige terningkastmuligheder:
- Jævn: For at sikre en perfekt afbalanceret fordeling af resultaterne: en D6 vil derfor have præcis lige så mange 1'ere som 6'ere i dit spil (forudsat at der er mindst 6 terningkast; ud over det kan de opnåede resultater ikke forekomme i overtal). Dette burde give dig mulighed for at forudse dine næste træk så effektivt som muligt.
- Gavnlig: at fremtvinge et ekstraordinært held og frustrere dine modstandere. Vi anbefaler dog denne mulighed til samarbejdsspil.
- Kaotisk: at favorisere terningkast, der yderligere vil destabilisere dine modstanderes planer og føre til uventede situationer.
- Fysisk: som kræver, at du ryster din telefon eller mus før hvert kast for at maksimere dit held
- Hjemmefordel: for kun at favorisere bordværten (kun forbeholdt Premium-konti)
ELO-JUSTERING
Da disse ændringer påvirker resultatet af rangerede kampe, vil vi revidere ELO-systemet, så det bedre afspejler dit færdighedsniveau i hvert spil. Da vi er klar over, at held er en nøglefaktor i succes eller fiasko, vil vi introducere en heldsscore. Denne score vil fortælle dig, hvordan held spiller en rolle i dine sejre. Den vil også give dig mulighed for at tjekke dine modstanderes heldniveau og begrænse adgangen til dine borde for spillere, der er for heldige.
Denne heldscore nulstilles den 1. i hver måned og udvikler sig separat fra din ELO.
TURNERINGER
Da terningkastet vil blive påvirket af mulighederne, bør turneringsarrangøren være meget omhyggelig med at undgå kaos eller misbrug, der kan hindre turneringens gnidningsløse afvikling.
Bemærk venligst, at "Fordel"-tilstanden kun vil være tilgængelig for officielle turneringer og efter arrangørernes skøn.
Da "Gavnlig"-tilstanden i visse ekstreme tilfælde kan resultere i længere spil, justerer vi effekterne baseret på din feedback.
ARENA-TILSTAND
For at undgå at forstyrre den nuværende Arena-sæson, vil terningkastmulighederne udvikle sig i løbet af den 6 uger lange Arena-periode uden behov for, at guruerne griber ind:
- "Jævn" de første 2 uger
- "Gavnlig" midt i sæsonen
- “Kaotisk” i de sidste to uger
"Fysisk"-tilstanden er ikke anvendelig i arenaen af åbenlyse fairness-årsager.
Furthermore, an adjustment will be made based on your Arena tier and that of your opponent, so that the supposedly weaker player may occasionally benefit from certain advantageous effects. In short, players in the Bronze League will have an advantage over those in the Elite League.
DELTAG I VORES GAMEFOUND-KAMPAGNE
Ud over de forskellige spiltilstande, da vi er forpligtet til at være et sandt supplement til fysiske spil, er vi i gang med at underskrive en aftale med en producent af spiltilbehør om at integrere disse mekanikker i rigtige terninger.
De vil inkorporere en unik, patenteret komponent: den miniaturiserede BGA Random Chip, som tilpasser terningkastene til din spiltype. Du vil derefter kunne ændre kastindstillingerne fra din telefon, før spillene starter. En anti-snydemekanisme vil blive indbygget for at sikre, at alle spillere omkring bordet advares via en vibration i terningerne, hvis konfigurationen ændres under spillet.
Du kan endda parre dine terninger med din BGA-konto for at se dine terninger live fra dit stuebord direkte i dine BGA-spil (vær forsigtig med ikke at lade flere faner være åbne med forskellige borde, da resultater ikke kan garanteres).
A Gamefound campaign will be launched in April to allow you to get exclusive designs.
Her er et smugkig på det første design, der er foreslået til denne kampagne.
Fremadrettet overvejer vi i øjeblikket at tilpasse BGA Random Chip direkte til spillekortene for at opnå en mere harmonisk blanding af dine kort, hvilket endda kunne integreres i boosterpakker.
(1) Vi er klar over, at nogle spillere kan have været foruroligede over den ikke-tilfældige karakter af denne funktions resultater under vores testfaser. Vi måtte erstatte den flere gange med en mere tilfældig funktion, da nogle spillere udførte dybdegående analyser uden vores viden.
