Description

Sometimes, a board game has a board that isn’t the same every time, and we ponder whether or not this is a good thing. Then it’s off to the races as we consider how different ways of determining statistically identical things might be different from one another. Plus advertisements for a local bar you’ll never go to and a device that guarantees your immediate death! The Mildly Alarming Podcast.

##Segment 2: Chit Pull vs. Card Draw vs. Die Roll

• Statistically, these can be entirely equivalent to one another. Why, then, choose one over the other?
• Is there ever a situation where it's appropriate to roll a die to determine which kind of chit to draw, which in turn tells you how many cards (and from which deck) you should draw?
