Fun fun! Of course, when I hear "rolling dice in different combinations", my mind immediately turns to Dungeons and Dragons, where it's plausible to roll d20+7, then roll 2d8+d6+12 to figure out how much damage you did... But the hard part of board games is usually the board. I used to spend ages trying to draw up a half-decent board, and ended up giving up. By "simulate", I'm guessing you mean that you didn't actually draw anything of the sort? ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
