Great game I just found online. > **[KDice - Multiplayer Dice War](https://kdice.com/)** Similar to risk, but more dynamic and faster. ---

I was addicted to kdice a while back. ---

How did you kick it? I have some work I really should be doing. ---

Well I got a new job and it didn’t seem prudent to start my new job by playing kDice. So I guess…cold turkey. ---

If I’m not mistaken, that’s the only site other than the SDMB that got my money. I loved the game, and figured it was worth tossing the guy five bucks to keep up the good work. I still log on every now and then and play a couple of games. ---

They made some rule changes about a year and a half ago that I didn’t agree with, so I just stopped playing. Used to be you could milk points out of people who refused to quit, but they took that out. I found it to be a legitimate tactic and didn’t agree with the removal. ---

You can do that now Captain C, on the higher tables. ---

Looking at it now for the first time. Is it just multi-player Dice Wars? Any differences in game play? ---

Its the same. Except the opposition doesn’t play atrociously bad. ---

> [@mr.jp](#): > > Its the same. Except the opposition doesn’t play atrociously bad. I’ve noticed there seem to be a few different versions around - the first one I played the AI was pretty random, but then in [this version](http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/dice/dice.html) the computer players actually team up if one player grows too powerful. Still not hard to beat, but you at least have to try - unlike a lot of other risk and risk-variants out there. ---

Like Hal, I got hooked through the bag a while back. Then I switched jobs, and couldn’t get to it for a while… and when I returned, they had just implemented the new rules. I never really picked it back up. ---

I’ve played a little, but I find that my connection hangs faaaaar too often for my liking - I’ll be doing fine, and then for two or three turns, I can’t submit my moves, and end up losing as a result… I still play occasionally. Grim
