Improve dice probability
We played 3 games and every time a specific number would get rolled more than 10 times in a row. Each of these numbers had low probability. Wondering if this may be a bug? Very odd that they were rolled so often and back to back.

JUAN AdminDice are random and not bugged nor rigged. But a number rolling "more than 10 times in a row" and in 3 different games, sounds extremely weird. Please provide some kind of screenshot or recording showing this, to verify if something is actually bugged. Until then this suggestion's status is changed.

offendedDice are random and not bugged nor rigged. <- this is unlikely as the "bug" is entirely predictable.

velcromagnonA better approach to this problem would be to display a stat of dice equity. What I mean by this, calculate how many resources a player receives through rolls RELATIVE to the expected value (ignoring the robber's current position), and then averages it out over the entire game. It will vary for one game but over many games, every player should have an equity approaching 1. This will accomplish two things. 1) For a single game it will help indicate how well you played relative to the equity of your rolls. and 2) Over many games, it will prove that the dice are fair (especially for computer opponents). Another advantage of a dice equity over simply displaying the dice you have received: The dice count doesn't factor in your skill in building cities, settlements, trading, and neglects the skill in robber placement.
