"With ‘fairness’ built in, everyone has an equal chance of winning without compromising their playing style."
This must be a joke, right? What's the point of playing games? To feel good about oneself?!
- Juliate 7y agoThe point of playing is ... playing. :) It's the journey. Not the win or loss.
- bitL 7y agoSo if I use a random number generator as an "advisor" for my part, am I guaranteed to win regardless? Like a social club where everybody gets to win and with it their own medal and certificate? In other words, playing = socializing, performance, tricks, effort being meaningless?
- viraptor 7y agoIt changes the benchmark, but you still have to be good enough for your level to win. You don't get the wins for free. It's still fun and it's still challenging (if implemented correctly). It also allows the stronger player to improve.
- ProZsolt 7y agoThis is a poor choice of words. It should be "everyone has a chance of winning". I really like playing board games and because of this, I'm usually the better player when playing with my family. With the balances, I still win most of the time because of the better strategy, but the others still win enough time that they keep playing with me.
