      Episode idea: Yahtzee but different dice. Instead of 5d6, you get one each of d6,d8,d10,d12,d20. or add a d4 and allow ignoring one die every turn (so if you roll 3,3,3,9,11,11 you get to ignore the 9 and call it full house)

      In other words, he had a 95% chance of rolling a 6 in that space, and he didn't.

    I just ran a million simulations of the regular game and of the 'only snakes' variant (with 1 die). On average, a regular game is finished in about 43 rounds, each player having encountered about 5 snakes. With only snakes, it takes about 325 rounds and 58 snakes on average. So good thing to set a time limit at least!

    American here! Since you asked: when Milton Bradley released their version of the game in the States in 1943, they figured that children wouldn't like snakes, so they changed it to a playground aesthetic and called it Chutes and Ladders instead.
    Why they called them chutes instead of slides, I'm less clear on.
    Added fun fact, our version even snuck little morality lessons onto the board too. At the base of each ladder is a little cartoon child doing a good deed (e.g. doing their chores or eating their vegetables), and at the top receiving their rewards (e.g. earning their allowance or enjoying their dessert). Conversely, the top of each chute features a kid doing something naughty or foolish (e.g. pulling a cat's tail or reading comics instead of their school books), and at the bottom they suffer the consequences (e.g. getting scratched up or sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on, because the forties were not kind to schoolchildren).
    None of those children were getting drunk on blue Curacao, but I imagine that would be a very long and winding chute indeed.

      @majiktowst210 Před 8 měsíci

      I wrote a simple Python program to simulate this game because I too was curious to know how long it would take and how many shots you would have to do.
      I published it to GitHub for anyone who wants to see it for themselves. It is under MajikTowst/Snakes-and-Snakes
      After running ten thousand simulated games for each one and two dice, here are some of the results:
      With one dice:
      Average number of turns per game: 729.5361
      Average number of shots per game: 110.8359
      With two dice:
      Average number of turns per game: 93.9043
      Average number of shots per game: 19.2675
      There is a lot of variance, and it is possible, albeit uncommon, for a game without shots. The odds i found of that are about .18% and 1.8% for one and two dice respectively.

    After running 10,000 simulations, a 2-player game with one die averages 384 turns (std. 354 turns), with each player averaging 58 shots (std 55, 25% 50% 75%: 18, 41, 80). The unluckiest player took 608 shots. The odds improve rather dramatically the more players there are! With 4 players, the average game is only 208 turns (std 174) with each player averaging 30 shots (std 27, 25% 50% 75%: 11, 23, 42).
    Introducing a second dice reduces the average number of turns to 54 (std 40), and the average number of shots per player to 10 (std 9, 25% 50% 75%: 4, 8, 14), rendering the game survivable.

    House Rules Game Suggestion: Colorblind Trouble. Play Trouble, but with pieces that have been painted white. The chaos will come from trying to remember which pieces are yours and which are your partners. When you make it around and try to go into your home area, you look under it to see if the color matches yours or if you’ve just helped your opponent get one closer to their home.

      ​@@lime7494 After looking it up, I don't particularly see the connection outside of draws being random
      The flow is basically:
      1) Draw Black Card
      2) Count blanks on the card (call it N for now)
      3) Every player randomly draws N cards
      4) One by one, every player reads the Black Card, filling in the blanks with their White Card/s (or simply places them down so everyone can read 'em)
      5) Instead of a Card Czar, everyone agrees on which combination they think is best; either funniest, most "true", etc. If a draw, you can flip a coin or something
      6) The player with the funniest combination wins the Black Card. First to X Black Cards wins (I usually play X = 7, just to pass time)

    24:00 it's funny that Sullivan moved his piece backwards because of how drunk he already was 😂

    Intrigue led me to simulate a computer playing this game. I’ve seen games end in ONLY 200 turns with 25 snake slides… but also ones with thousands of goes. There isn’t enough Blue Curaçao in the world!
    One thing’s for sure, the computer never took as long as Sully to roll a six.
