roll of three 0-5 dice.
Hi,
I was reading:
THE PIECEPACK: IN SEARCH OF A GENERIC, UNIVERSAL BOARDGAME SET
by James Kyle (jdroscha@...)
http://www.piecepack.org/piecepack_article.html
And noticed this paragraph:
======================
The range of 0-5 also has an advantage over the natural 1-6 range (albeit a rather insignificant one) in that the roll of 3 dice covers all possible totals of tile values or coin values within a suit. That is, given a random subset of the tiles (or coins) within a single suit, the total value of those tiles will be in the range 0-15, which is the same range achieved by the roll of 3 dice.
======================
Has this feature been used in a game?
