[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) It's definitely possible to fail further than 7 places behind, very quickly. It only takes two turns. But the problem is that the first roll gets to buy the first property of the game, in most instances. A lap randomizes that advantage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago But who took the first roll was already chosen randomly. My argument is that who gets to the first square where they can buy something doesn't become any more random by going more laps. The probability of any given player getting to the first purchasable square is 100% determined by the random process that decides who gets to go first in the "warmup round". permalink fedilink source parent
