Ah, just like chess has 64 possible states. Except that chess has on the order 10^47 states.
- mturmon 14y agoThey needed to use "Chutes and Ladders," which really does have a handful of states.
- bcbrown 14y agoThe [position of a player on a Monopoly board] has 40 possible states.
- mturmon 14y agoBut the transition between states in Monopoly depends not only on dice, but also upon the configuration of Chance and Community Chest cards, which has a much larger state space. Besides this, if you roll doubles three times, you go to Jail, which increases the state space more.
