Closest Call - poker betting with dice instead of cards (free, plays in the browser)

Hi everyone! I just released Closest Call, a multiplayer betting game that plays like a poker night without the cards.

A hand of Closest Call in progress: ten dice rolled, running total 33

How it works: everyone secretly picks a number from 15 to 90. Five dice are rolled three times, with a round of betting before the first roll and after each one. At the showdown, the highest number that is at or under the total of all 15 dice wins the pot. Or you bet everyone out of the hand and never show your number.

What's in it:

9-seat tables that are always running. Bots fill the empty seats, so you can try it on your own.
One tap to start: no email, no download.
Private tables with an invite link for friends.
A one-minute Daily Call challenge where everyone gets the same 15 dice.
A daily tournament and leaderboards that reset every six weeks.

It is free, with nothing to buy and no ads. Chips are play chips only, with no real money anywhere. Because it is a betting-style game, it asks you to confirm you are 18 or older.

I would love to know two things: did the rules make sense within your first hand or two, and does the betting feel too fast or too slow? Thanks for taking a look.
