This is fun. I can't figure out how the white 4 roll works though. Seems like you would get 4 one-square digs, but it doesn't seem to work that way? do they have to be arranged like the pips on the die?

I had trouble with the white 4 too, but now it works for me? I have to select 4 separate 1x1 spaces (if they're adjacent you have to click each one to lock it in before selecting the next). It also seems like you can always ignore your roll completely and just choose a single 1x1, which AFAICT isn't documented or explained anywhere.

That worked for the white 4...

Playing semi-randomly just to have something to click, my best score is 85.

I managed to get the 4x1 rolls by using the tip from the tutorial (where both a 2x1 and a 3x1 are done): You click on your selection to "lock it in" and prevent it from growing. So, for the 4x1, I click a square to mark it, then click it again to lock it. And repeat for the next three single squares.

For the white 4 roll, I forgot that they had to be touching existing digs. Once I remembered that, it worked as expected.

Got a 99 after a handful of tries!

This is bad.

Is this the place to post a group string? I generated one:

What does the white fire symbol, bottom right area, do?

When activated, it allows you pick any of the possible polyomino shapes in the book, regardless of the dice rolls.

Got up to 121 and then remembered I need to close that tab or be doomed into nonproductivity.
