A single game is mostly luck, and it's not that unusual to win or lose by accident. Something like Fluxx sits in this area for me. And the skillful player's advantage will mean they'll probably do way better over a bunch of hands than a crap player. It always needs some skill though, or (for me) it's not worth playing.Ī single hand is mostly determined by luck, with skill only being used to influence how many chips you lose or gain, and at what point you bow out of the hand.Ī skillful player won't do that much better than a crap one in an average hand, but when you play you'll play a bunch of hands. The shorter the game, the more important luck can be.
