Card Games

[Catman25]

Are card games based on luck or skill?

 

Whether it be luck of the draw, or how you play your cards, you decide.

[Luna Lovegood]

Luck. Skill is irrelevant

[Dark]

There is no luck, as I explained in a post in another thread. Blah blah, theory of randomness, blah blah, how you shuffle the cards, blah blah.

 

It's based on 'luck', skill, and your opponent's skill.

[EHN.]

Skill is a weird one. Like someone could activate Trap Jammer at the wrong time , etc.

 

My two friends are fairly good duelers. One of them always won. They swapz decks and he still won.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

Skill.

 

A trooper, i mean duelist can always do some damage with any cards he's given.

[Twig]

Skill

 

More than 90% of winning duels are won by skill. That's what I think.

[~Wright~]

Both, and really, it depends on the game. If you're given a truly terrible hand, it won't matter if you're skilled. You'll still end up losing. Whereas, if you have a great hand, but you have no skill, you won't know how to play it, and you'll still end up losing. (Happened with my 6 year old cousin, could've won, played the cards wrong and lost)

 

The player who is the most skill should still win the most often, however. If one person always plays they're cards better, and players draw the same general hands, the player with the most skill will win.

 

To win, you need a balance of both "luck" and skill.

ITT: Dead Draws mean you have bad luck.

No... A consistent Deck only has less workable hands. While there ARE Luck Based Decks.

 

So it's mostly skill unless the game itself is designed for luck.

[Saturn of Elemia]

I say it relies on both. Sure, you have to have the skill to use the cards, but luck plays a factor in what you're gonna draw.

[tommers2008]

Mainly skill, but luck can always help

[CrabHelmet]

It depends on the game. War is nothing but luck, whereas Mao is most heavily based in skill.

 

Luck. Skill is irrelevant

 

I laughed.

It's based on 'luck', skill, [b']and[/b] your opponent's skill.

 

"Luck" is a perfectly understandable shorthand for "the effect of random events on a player's probability of winning", and unless you're advocating cheating by performing imperfect shuffles, how you shuffle the cards will not change that.

[Womi]

Yeah.

Stochastics.

I know.

[Aibara]

I believe that there is one perfect combination... Luck, Skills and alternative plans. But there's, always, an easier solution... CHEATING!! LOL!:-)

[Coffee Black]

I think it's luck mostly. it takes skill to win based on what cards you get, but the cards you actually have to use depend solely on luck. But in terms of just win or lose, it takes only skill.

[Scatty]

That's probably why I play a GB deck and run 2 Gold Sarcophagus.

 

Because I hate my own luck.

[RAEGING D0GKING]

First of all its based on your Skill of how you play but to do that you need Luck to draw the perfect cards (In Yugioh).
