Did anyone else who purchased this game at Gencon '11 get a bum die? Mine is rounded on five sides and completely flat on the sixth side. It rolls all wonky and I don't think it gives accurate random results. I may have to just use a standard die and convert the colors to numbers.

This is a fun little game though, played it three times last night.

Any series of random numbers is going to produce some runs of the same result. Your die will always produce the same result, but which result it consistently produces was the result of an accident, and therefore arguably random. It's also random that you, of all people, got this particular die.

So your die is still random, just not suited to an enjoyable session of this game.

You should post a photo of this die. There are folks who just want to buy it from you...
