Try the seal
A small demo of the idea. The fingerprint is fixed before your first roll.
- Fingerprint
····- Your code
····- Code
Roll a few times, then open the seal.
How the dice are sealed
Every roll comes from a code sealed before the first roll. It is opened when the match ends, and then every roll is checked.
Before the first roll, a secret code is sealed and its fingerprint is shown.
Each roll is made from that code together with a code from each player.
When the match ends the code is opened, and every roll is checked again.
Against the computer the code is sealed on your phone. Online, the server seals it and both phones add a code of their own. Nobody sees a roll before it happens.
Five kinds of table
New tables open as you level up, from the coffee houses where everyone starts to the legends at the top.

Play Mr Kostas
Mr Kostas is the computer. He plays at three levels: easy, medium and hard.
With Teacher on, he warns you before you finish a move he thinks is a mistake, and can show you the move he would play. After a match, the analysis puts each of your moves next to the best one.
Are you sure?
Mr Kostas thinks this move is a mistake. He would play 13/7 8/7.
