Imp's Board Simulator is a statistical planning tool that helps you calculate reward probabilities in board-based simulation runs. Enter your parameters — regular dice, lucky dice, and current board position (squares 1–20, 0 is the starting square) — and the app runs thousands of simulations to generate reliable statistical estimates. Use the results to plan how many dice to spend before your next session. What you can simulate: • Expected rewards per resource type • Probability of reaching specific star thresholds (80, 110, 140, 170, 200+) • Min, max, and average outcomes across thousands of runs
