The idea section doesn't seem to be working, so I am writing these here.

I suggest you change a couple of things to more closely match the original game.

1. Do not force the turn to end because of moves deemed too risky - often a lesser stack can attack a bigger stack successfully. This is especially frustrating when you have very few spaces left and are not allowed to attack 2 dice against 2. Or 6 against 6.

2. You currently have a number under the player's name that is how many spaces you occupy - this should be how many spaces connecting. The first place person is the one gaining the most dice through connected spaces, not the most spaces occupied.

3. Make it very clear (like turn space black) when you click on your space and attack another.

Thanks so much for making this game!

I strongly support point 2. The dice added should only be the amount of your biggest group. This is highly integral and very important for strategy in dicewars, and would also solve a further problem in kdice

Giving only dice for connecting spaces makes you try to connect areas, to maximise the dice added at the end. This makes an attacking tactic of divide and conquor very effective.

In kdice, there are a lot of people sitting out. If they have 3 disconnected spaces, they currently will get 3 dice, whereas they should only get 1. This will stop huge towers building in the play area, which they can use to dominate should they sit in again

Oh, colors could do with a tweak too, it's hard to differentiate between green, teal and light blue until you get used to it

kdice only awards dice for # of CONTIGUOUS areas, just like dice wars.

The count under your picture is a count of ALL areas. 1st place is determined by this count and not the contiguous count.

Hope that helps clear things up.

Perhaps two numbers could be listed in the summary. #of contiguous/total# toal dice
