Games that are completely determined (or nearly so) by randomness don't seem much fun to me. However, there's still analysis to some of them.
Recently I was suckered into a game of Monopoly, which interestingly enough I had just encountered on this Project Euler question.
And this question has been frustrating me completely. The answer that you get depends on several input parameters that they don't specify. The question is essentially, "What are the three most popular Monopoly squares if you use 4-sided dice?", with popular being very ill-defined. For example, do we consider the players to be starting on any square with equal probability? What about Go Directly to Jail, Chance, Community Chest, and Jail itself? How many iterations through should we simulate?
I have yet to find the magic combination of input parameters to get the "correct" answer, but I encourage everyone to try.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
