Game Setup

Red's turn

Dice proof

Every roll in this game comes from one number fixed before the first roll, not from a fresh random each turn. The fingerprint below was published before anybody rolled. Reveal the number at the end and you can recompute every roll yourself and check it against the log.

Fingerprint (published at the start): -
Rolls so far: 0
Starting number: hidden until you reveal it

How to check it yourself

Roll n (counting from zero) is 1 + floor(6 × mulberry32(fnv1a(seed))⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾) — a fresh mulberry32 stream seeded with the FNV-1a hash of the revealed number, advanced n+1 times. The fingerprint is the SHA-256 of the number. Both are ordinary published algorithms, so a recomputation does not have to trust this page.

How to play Aeroplane Chess

Aeroplane Chess (飞行棋) is a classic Chinese board game for 2–4 players. It is also spelled airplane chess in English, and is sometimes called Chinese Ludo because the race-your-pieces-home structure is the same.

Each player has 4 planes in their corner hangar.
Roll a 6 to take a plane onto the runway start.
On a 6 you roll again.
Planes move clockwise around the board.
Land exactly on an opponent's plane to capture it (sends it back to hangar). Your own start and the home path are safe.
Land on a star of your own colour to fly to the matching star across the board.
To finish, a plane must enter the home path and reach the centre on an exact roll.
The first player to land all 4 planes in the centre wins.
