What does the colour of the dice "pow" background mean?

[NorthernTrendkill]

Hi,
Can't seem to find info on this anywhere. I understand that the colour of the dice determines who chooses which dice is used - but there is a "pow" shape behind the dice that is sometimes red and sometimes yellow. Any idea what this means? Thanks in advance.

If you mean when you mouse-over an opponent before the block is made, if it is white then it will be your choice and if it is red then it will be your opponent's choice.

if the background is yellow it means you have to make a blitz action to do the block

Thanks for the prompt reply but I mean the colour behind the dice.
Example 1: I mouse over an opponent before blocking and it has a white die with a red "pow" shape behind it.
Example 2: I mouse over an opponent before blocking and it has a white die with a yellow "pow" shape behind it.

So the die is white in both examples but in example 1, the shape behind the die is red and in example 2 its yellow.

Ah, sorry - I missed the second reply. Thanks for the quick info guys.

White dice with red background is a block. I don't think I've ever seen white die with yellow background, but a straight yellow pow on mouseover is a blitz.

In your installation folder should be a PDF called Competition Rules or something like that. It's the official rule book of the boardgame, the block-dice are explained there
