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?
