easytarget Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 just checking here does variable turn ending mean: if you set it for 35+ you'll end up with a game that ends either in front of or after the 35 by some amount?

Treeburst155 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 A 40+ game will go at least 40 complete turns, but no more than 50 complete turns (10 extra turns max, or 25% of designer specified game length, whichever is less). This "die roll" is thrown at the end of turn 40, and ONLY at the end of turn 40. The die has 11 sides (in the case of a scenario designed with 40 or more turns), numbered 0-10. The number of extra turns is set by this die. What this means is that the chances of the game ending on any specific turn are equal (9%). So, there is about a 55% chance the 40 turn game will go 5 or more extra turns. There's only a 9% chance of the game ending on the designer specified turn. It's best to think of a 40+ game as 45 +/-5. Odds are over 70% that you will get at least two extra turns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
