      Episode idea: Yahtzee but different dice. Instead of 5d6, you get one each of d6,d8,d10,d12,d20. or add a d4 and allow ignoring one die every turn (so if you roll 3,3,3,9,11,11 you get to ignore the 9 and call it full house)

      @Will Scott so. The odds of him not rolling a six once is 5/6 or 83.33%... I went back and counted. He rolled 17 times before getting a 6, so to calculate the odds we do (5/6)^17, which gives us odd of 4.5%
      In other words, he had a 95% chance of rolling a 6 in that space, and he didn't.

    I just ran a million simulations of the regular game and of the 'only snakes' variant (with 1 die). On average, a regular game is finished in about 43 rounds, each player having encountered about 5 snakes. With only snakes, it takes about 325 rounds and 58 snakes on average. So good thing to set a time limit at least!

      I wrote a simple Python program to simulate this game because I too was curious to know how long it would take and how many shots you would have to do.
      I published it to GitHub for anyone who wants to see it for themselves. It is under MajikTowst/Snakes-and-Snakes
      After running ten thousand simulated games for each one and two dice, here are some of the results:
      With one dice:
      Average number of turns per game: 729.5361
      Average number of shots per game: 110.8359
      With two dice:
      Average number of turns per game: 93.9043
      Average number of shots per game: 19.2675
      There is a lot of variance, and it is possible, albeit uncommon, for a game without shots. The odds i found of that are about .18% and 1.8% for one and two dice respectively.

    American here! Since you asked: when Milton Bradley released their version of the game in the States in 1943, they figured that children wouldn't like snakes, so they changed it to a playground aesthetic and called it Chutes and Ladders instead.
    Why they called them chutes instead of slides, I'm less clear on.
    Added fun fact, our version even snuck little morality lessons onto the board too. At the base of each ladder is a little cartoon child doing a good deed (e.g. doing their chores or eating their vegetables), and at the top receiving their rewards (e.g. earning their allowance or enjoying their dessert). Conversely, the top of each chute features a kid doing something naughty or foolish (e.g. pulling a cat's tail or reading comics instead of their school books), and at the bottom they suffer the consequences (e.g. getting scratched up or sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on, because the forties were not kind to schoolchildren).
    None of those children were getting drunk on blue Curacao, but I imagine that would be a very long and winding chute indeed.

    House Rules Game Suggestion: Colorblind Trouble. Play Trouble, but with pieces that have been painted white. The chaos will come from trying to remember which pieces are yours and which are your partners. When you make it around and try to go into your home area, you look under it to see if the color matches yours or if you’ve just helped your opponent get one closer to their home.
    Your shows are amazing. Thank you for the laughs. ❤

    After running 10,000 simulations, a 2-player game with one die averages 384 turns (std. 354 turns), with each player averaging 58 shots (std 55, 25% 50% 75%: 18, 41, 80). The unluckiest player took 608 shots. The odds improve rather dramatically the more players there are! With 4 players, the average game is only 208 turns (std 174) with each player averaging 30 shots (std 27, 25% 50% 75%: 11, 23, 42).
    Introducing a second dice reduces the average number of turns to 54 (std 40), and the average number of shots per player to 10 (std 9, 25% 50% 75%: 4, 8, 14), rendering the game survivable.

However, they have separate etymologies; Magnesium's name is derived from "Magnesia" salts while Aluminum is derived from "Alumina" without an -ia suffix.
