So 2 years later :D

The AI looks at all possible moves.

Then it adds a score to possible moves based on

1. Can I bop a player with this move.
2. Can I land on a roll-again this round.
3. How likely it is to land on a roll again next round
4. How likely it is to bop a player next round.

(Knowing how likely it is to get a 1,2,3, or a 4 on each turn)

Then it also checks and adds value to a move if

1. This piece is in danger of being eaten
2. This piece can advance me on the board safely

And how an AI values each of this things is their personality. So Irvin and Leonard value different things but they do the same queries.
