Herlock Sholmes: Interesting insight. Thought there might have been a few responses to this.

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."

I wonder if those that mostly play dice games believe that fate or destiny is general providence and those that play primarily non dice games believe that indeed fate is controlled through their own choices in life!

This thought is probably good for schoolboys and schoolgirls, at the beginning of their path in life. For those who have seen "this and that" it's clear that achieving goals in life is a combination of luck(chance) and skills(choice) ... we can control only small partion of our lives. Budda beautifuly answered when asked about our free will: you have two legs and lift the first one . You can do it, right ? now, still holding the first leg up, try to lift the second one. You cannot, right ? It's a perfect example of mixture of what we can and what cannot do ...I don't think most of us know exactly why we choose either dice or non-dice games. I personally feel relaxed playing dice games and tense when playing non-dice games. Dice games are more exciting for me since the unknown feature. Are they more intelligent than non-dice? 


Andy.

Herlock Sholmes: I should have added, as a player who does not enjoy dice games, I do not believe in providence and destiny is one of your own making.

I grew out snakes and ladders by the time I reached school age, however, I still enjoy the odd game of monopoly :)

SL-Mark: how about card games ? do they have any value for you ? some of them require huge intelligence to play well ... and the very nature of them is basically the same as dice games ...

Herlock Sholmes: Card games, yes, they have huge value for me and have enjoyed playing them from a young age.

Whilst there are similarities with dice games (playing with what you are dealt or rolled), card games hold many more dimensions. For example, one of my favourites is Black Lady (I believe called Hearts in the US). Whilst the rules are simple, it is extremely combative, probabilities can only be calculated by remembering which cards have been played, there include many elements of bluff, as well thoughtful decision making in the strategy one will adopt.

I can't see how a dice game can compete with that, monopoly an exception!
