quite different mechanics to how deck building operates in sts. Tangent - it is interesting watching highly skilled players navigating draft in magic the gathering. It's then up to the player to decide if the game is still exciting, even when losing.

But one might argue that this isn't true to the spirit of the game and as a player, one should just accept that sometimes there is a chance not to win.

Now a computer implementation could try to avoid most of these 'bad' seeds using some heuristics.

the singular black 1 being among the last few cards to be drawn results in not being able to score the full 25 points). But in some of the advanced modes, there are truly 'unwinnable' seeds of the randomized deck, no matter the player's luck (e.g. So the strategy of strong players involves reducing the number of (useful) cards discarded. the three last cards to be drawn are the three copies of the red 1) it's more likely to lose due because the first copy of a card (cards 2 to 4 have two copies each) is discarded and the second copy of that card is then the last card to be drawn (which means followup cards can not be played anymore). In the basic game mode this requires incredible bad luck (e.g.

Both approaches have their merits.Įven in a simple game as Hanabi this is possible. Either the developers run some sanity checks to (somewhat try to) avoid them, or they are just part of the game(-design). Ah, yes, the funsies of unwinnable seeds.
