Thanks for the update. It sounds actually from your descript like a game that I'd detest because of the roll to move aspect. At least, with regard to Talisman, Monopoly, etc type of games where you roll to move, I just find it incredibly boring.
The "move" die is 1-2-2-3-3-4. You move up to the number rolled (and don't have to move at all). Low numbers are balanced by giving you more energy to spend on powers, which is really important. Cards also increase your speed.
Cheers!
