Now I know why I' regularly beat the daylights out of 95% of the people I've played on this. With few exceptions, a couple of them a bit more important than I thought initially, I've been doing this since I was in grade school (40+ years). I'm a mathematician whose specialties are in games of chance, especially video poker - but Yahtzee, Stratego are among my favorites, but Classic Parcheesi is MY best game. These are among the finest comprehensive videos I've seen. Your combination of the technical is easy to relate to, and your voice isn't strident like mine!
Well, I know you're lying if you say you beat 95% of people in a game of chance, unless of course you play them in a massive sample size (at least 11-15 games), or are playing kindergartners. I implement a close to optimal strategy (on one site, I average ~250 per game, maybe just below that -- the highest average score of hundreds of players on that site with at least 300 games played when I quit a few years back) and I won 57% of my matches. At the end of the day, playing optimally maximizes your chances of winning, but yahtzee still is mostly a game of luck, and it depends on who you are playing against (how knowledgeable they are about the game).
www-set.win.tue.nl/~wstomv/misc/yahtzee/instr-ptd.html#analysis The main thing is the right four columns which show what the computer would have done differently and how much better it is than your choice. If these columns are blank then your choices were optimal.
i think the only two people to ever showcase AC1s greatness with content about the game are you and this guy ruclips.net/video/WeaZhDj5fTo/видео.html friend of yours? seems tutored and everything
No, I'm not familiar with Sisypheus. As far as I know he's not a member of The Hidden Blade although he has incorporated some of IanXO4's assassination designs in that video.
i see....what about InTheVaria? i've recently budged him to make a new video on ac1 gameplay -wise not very familiar but the appreciation for the original game seems to coincide,

@@sawmill035 I am sorry, I meant to say 65%, and that is for Triple Yahtzee. My brain is faster than my fingers sometimes.
Can you make some more of these? They are great. I saw somewhere online that there is a two player optimal player. That might be interesting too.
I don't understand how to read the analysis page

Yes, InTehVaria has been a member of The Hidden Blade for about 5 years. He did some good work on AC3 Forts.
Thanks for your videos and showing us this program! I'm a lot better at the game now. Sort of the hero of family game night, heh
Don't tell your family you've been practicing! Ha ha
