Adding money to a game of Risk I do wonder if you could do some sort of bidding for the initial set-up. I'd be willing to pay a little extra for South American countries... |

Adding money to a game of Risk Why would you bother trading chips after every turn? (Or using chips at all?) Unless you do something with the chips you have, just pay in at beginning, set the money aside, and pay out at end based on board position. |

How long can I wait before choosing to counter a spell? @L So Counterflux would be better used when the other player uses several sorcery spells and instants: almost. Sorcery spells also can't be played while something is on the stack (see Hackworth's 3rd paragraph). But several instants, yes. |

How to Measure Luck vs Skill in Games? I agree with @user that lines of code is a terrible measure of complexity, but I think it's an even worse measure of luck. |

How to Measure Luck vs Skill in Games? Nice answer! It's good to point out that even in a "pure skill" game like chess, you still need that distribution. I wonder how things would look if you gave each player a personal distribution--more consistent players would have smaller variance etc. Optimistically, there would be a lower bound on the variance, and that would be the luck factor. |

How to Measure Luck vs Skill in Games? Regarding Q3: I think absolutely no luck can often be determined based on chance elements and information. Go and Chess have no hidden information, and no random elements, thus they are 100% skill games (regardless of how well computers can play them). Stratego has hidden information but no chance elements. Backgammon has no hidden information, but lots of chance. However, in either of those games, I think a skilled player would defeat a random player 99.999% of the time. |
