Description
A randomizer is used to determine how far to move a piece. The space landed on determines the action(s) a player can take.
Discussion
Roll-and-Move games are emblematic of many of the earliest games people are exposed to. This Roll-and-Move mechanism has also been used in some of the oldest known games, including Senet and Backgammon. Because Roll and Move has been used in so many simplistic children’s games, it has the reputation as an anti-pattern. Players do not feel in control of their actions and are at the mercy of the randomizer, which could be dice (Monopoly), a spinner (Chutes and Ladders), or cards (Candyland). To mitigate this, the designer should extend the mechanism to allow for more player choice. One way is to give the players more ways to apply the results of the randomizer, as in Backgammon, where the player can use the dice in a variety of ways. Other options are to have mechanisms that allow the players to modify, use a subset of the number, or choose a direction, as in Talisman, wager on movement as in Long Shot and Camel Up, or wrap it in a Push-Your-Luck mechanism like Nur Peanuts!. Other options are discussed in sections Different Dice (MOV-07) and Probability Management (UNC-09).

描述
使用随机发生器来确定移动棋子的距离。落下的空间决定了玩家可以采取的行动。
讨论
掷骰移动（Roll-and-Move）游戏是许多人最早接触的游戏的象征。这种掷骰移动机制也被用于一些已知最古老的游戏中，包括《塞尼特》（Senet）和《双陆棋》（Backgammon）。因为掷骰移动被用于许多简单的儿童游戏中，它有着反模式的名声。玩家感觉无法控制自己的行动，任由随机发生器摆布，可能是骰子（《大富翁》），转盘（《蛇梯棋》/ Chutes and Ladders），或卡牌（《糖果乐园》/ Candyland）。为了缓解这种情况，设计师应该扩展机制以允许更多的玩家选择。一种方法是给玩家更多应用随机发生器结果的方式，如在《双陆棋》中，玩家可以以各种方式使用骰子。其他选项包括允许玩家修改、使用数字子集或选择方向的机制，如在《Talisman》中，对移动进行下注，如在《Long Shot》和《Camel Up》中，或将其包装在像《Nur Peanuts!》这样的运气推送机制中。其他选项将在“不同的骰子”（MOV-07）和“概率管理”（UNC-09）部分讨论。
