Hi.

Does anyone know what the record is for number of snake-eyes rolled (2 dice showing 1), consecutive '1's resulting in turnovers (failed dodge rolls, passes, etc) or double skulls in one game is?

Recently, I went through a match playing dark elves. I failed ALL passes attempted in the game on natural rolls of '1' (short distances, no tackle zones), failed picking the ball up several times, and failed a number of dodges where I needed 2+, as well as failing the reroll.

Figured it might be some sort of a record.

I'd be inclined to guess that the record would have to be, at minimum, 12 turnovers caused by snake eyes/quad skulls/sextuple skull or double downs. You'd also have to have at least 6 SI/deaths caused to your team, in the same game.

I base this on the fact that I've had 9 turnovers caused by dice, and 3 SI/deaths in the same game; and that's just a recent game that I currently still remember, so I probably had worse earlier; and undoubtedly, I'm not particularly unlucky.

I'm guessing that somewhere there is a fervent discussion about whether or not the random dice generator is faulty or not. Wink

Seriously though. I've played hundreds of boardgame BB, and consecutive snakeeyes are exceedingly rare. Let alone quintuple consecutive rolls of '1'.

No completed passes. Not for a lack of trying.

The game after that, 1 completed pass. Also not for lack of trying.

Probably. Smile

But all the other elf teams seem to be able to ping it around when they play vs me. So I figured I should be able to do it, too. Wink

Yeah. Sucks when you have been permanently assigned the random seed generator for '1'. Wink

All natural 1s, were they? So all were fumbles?

I played Uncleanone and I don't think I've seen worse dice than that. Pretty much almost every turn ended on a snakes or skulls. When I commented how bad his dice were, he said, with an air of resignation, "Pretty normal to be honest."

My apologies, some were natural rolls of '2'. A world of difference, of course.

But still, all attempted passes fumbled.
