 How to build an app/service that makes all users feel equally smart?
brk: So, does being "more random" equate to winning or, losing? What would be the point of playing such a game?  It seems that most games ARE geared towards people with more thinking/reasoning ability in some portion of their brain.  They appeal to our competitive instincts.A simple game as you describe, setup just so that everyone can feel equal, sounds like it would be very boring and unengaging to me.This board game was designed so that it was fair and engaging overall across players of different ages and abilities.  I still think that someone who was particularly daft would not find themselves any more successful at this game though...
