Total Games Played Since BGA Began

If a game is, for example, table # 754720726, does this indicate that a total of 754.720.726 games have been played since BGA? (Was table # 1 the first game played?)

If yes, then, when do we attain table # 1.000.000.000? :D

Re: Should Be Able to Undo More Plays

":I agree it’s more likely that the % of doubles has been misread as the number."

the bottom of the Game Result page for Castles of Burgundy displays the % doubles rolled at game end.

Re: Dice Probability

"Why? Almost every poster like this has lacked both." I was in no way questioning BGA; just commenting on the "random" dice, and used the word in quotes. care to tell us the lotto nmbrs for tmw? I mean, since you know my education and intent without having met me. Bravo "we...

Re: Dice Probability

the prob came from one of my prob stat books. Chat Gpt confirmed the figure and the formula (for what that;s worth). I trust that it is sold but could ask a PhD prof. i initially thought it would be like a lotta factorial calculation. for example, 50 balls to draw 6 numbers where the balls do not re...

With 2 d6 die, the probability of rolling the same number on both die is 1:6. the probability of rolling doubles 24 times with 50 rolls is 0.0000224%. 2 in 10MM. Yet this occurs on 2 different days. 24 of 50 on one day, and again 24 of 50 on a different day (same week). "random" number gen...

Re: IS IT EVER OK TO TELL OTHER PLAYERS HOW TOP PLAY?

"and after that they can make their own assessments" Agreed. In this Stone Age game, then player was taking a 10 pt penalty for not feeding his meoples. Many players intentionally do this. This player had already taken the Ag spot at least once in the game and surely was aware of its effec...
