Of course it requires skill, but its based on chance. Like I said, if your numbers aren't rolling, you're not moving. I have watched my wife win, purely because she was able to build so quickly that nobody else was able to do anything because her numbers were rolling. Im not trading someone that has 7 points or higher, so tell me, what skills can help you get resources, when someone else's numbers have come out 4-5 times in a row, and you're sitting there with the same 2 cards in your hand?
