ELO not work well for games with random factor for example coloretto. This game is a bit random. Better player wins often but not always, even with weak opposition. Record with 50% wins for 3, 4, 5 players is good but ELO can be <1500. But with the same statistics you can have ELO >1700. In this type of games ELO should consider statistics not only ELO = ELO + new result

ELO works in ALL GAMES.

So, luck games are most difficult to get a higher rating. Get 1800 in Can't Stop is similar than 2000 in Chess or Checkers.

Just in my opinion, I enjoy more "luck" games before "only strategy",,,

Yes agreed with OSO, i played both games lucky based and non, but ELO works in both types of games!

So if 2000 elo in Chess is like 1800 in Can't stop maybe luck based games should have lower requirements for Master badge

You need to take the games within the context of what they are. Or maybe you should consider that it's extremely difficult to become a "master" of Can't Stop when a newbie can beat you through luck. A true master would figure out how to beat them.
