AI dice roll bias
I played a lot when it was a desktop client just before this rollout and documented reproducable occurrances of AI manipulating the dice rolls. I just finished my first game using steam and that bug has not been fixed. Three times in a row I got to 8 cards and on my turn I got 7'ed. Every time I got to 8 on my turn I got hit. Then the ai player that won was heavy on two different 5's while I had none. I had an 8 and 6 however. 5 got rolled 11 times vs the 6 being rolled 5. This is not just antedotal stuff. I have sent them screen shots and stats on dozens of games with the same obvious cheating by the computer. I can still win because of the computer's bad play in other respects but it makes it hard to want to continue with that level of bias toward the compter players.

I'd be surprised if they intentionally implemented dice fixing as a way to make the AI harder. That seems like an awfully lazy route to increase difficulty. Especially if they dice fixed your rolls.

You may be experiencing confirmation bias.

I'd like to see those statistics.
