The Command Board is a very loose thing. Sometimes it will be really nice to you, and sometimes it will destroy you utterly and without mercy. For example, playing on the Deep Space board, literally within two turns, Gantu landed on Captain Dark, got put in the negatives for four or so rounds, and by the time he adequately recovered, I had about 9000 GP, barely short of the goal. Other times, Pooh will somehow play the luckiest game I've ever seen in my life by not only landing on Hunny Hunt spaces, and ALWAYS getting the 500 bonus each time, but also rolling high numbers and avoiding all of my spaces.
I only ever play the Command Board for the Mirage Arena and for item collection. As a mini-game itself, its kinda boring. The voices get irritating in time, playing through a half-hour match just to get own'd at the end is super aggrevating, and the game can be cheaped to extremes. (Spamming Two Dice FTW.)
If this minigame HAS to return, the least Nomura could do is take out CPU turns. We really don't need to see automated decisions. And kill Captain Douche.
