Borel board game

This is really a brilliant game! A good game should have a good mix of skill and luck. It it is only skill, like chess, it becomes meaningless if people are at different skill level. If it is just luck, it is kind of silly. In this game, you will have a great advantage if you are good at probability. But it still comes down to the roll of the dice or the flip of the coin. And you have to have a good strategy for managing your money. You can also create a handicap system by giving some players shorter time to think. I will use it in my class this semester.I only have one complaint. I wish that the cards were numbered. That would have made things easier when using it as a basis for homework in class among other things.

There's a large element of gambling, so if you're worried about playing with kids, maybe it's not for you. On the other hand, it's a very good surrogate for actually gambling, so might help you stop losing money! It's also very educational, and I can't see it failing to engage people with various forms of probability theory. The arguments ensuing after a lost round will see people actually eager to learn about binomial and multinomial distributions, or sequential analysis, which are not normally visited until A-level or higher. A really well designed game, even for non-mathematicians. People with maths backgrounds might have an advantage on instinct or with the easier problems, but the harder ones require more time than you're allowed, so it might just help developing a "feel" for numbers!

It is amazing how thinking about probabilities in the game's competitive context becomes so much fun.Each round you don't only have to decide on the correct outcome, you have to take into account what other players might decide.You also have to take into account how sure you are about your decision. All in all, the game is intriguing and even keeps you thinking after you finish playing it.The build quality is also excellent.

Good Quality, had already some fun with it. It is something really different. Would recommend.

A group of (slightly nerdy) players had a great time with this - 'betting' on the results of different experiments, and then carrying them out. Eager anticipation as the cards were turned, or dice or coins were flipped, followed by shouts of either disappointment or success, and then seeing if anyone wanted to rerun the experiment. Noisy and fun.

Really enjoyable game, they need to create expansion packs with different type of experiments in the future!

What an excellent idea. I love board games but usually I get bored after a while. But I think this is different. It has various different scenarios and different outcomes. You have to think about the probabilities and guess the outcome. The best thing is that you never play the same game twice, because of the probabilities. Loved it from day one. Top quality also.

An excellent game! Highly recommend!
