If you're going to specify that the number of players is 2, there is no advantage over the much simpler system of:
Flip one coin. If heads, player A is the winner. If tails, player B is the winner.

You can have each of two players flip a coin and choose player A when player A flips heads or player B when player A flips tails.
- e12e 2mo agoUseless depends on context here; I believe the idea is that each player gets a feeling of agency (they go in the order dictated by "their" luck, not leaving the decision to someone elses roll). The most pragmatic would probably be to shuffle N cards from ace(one) through N - and let everyone draw). But that doesn't involve dice.
