A simulation of the Monopoly Jr. board game.
python mjr.pyI play this game with my kids a lot. Sometimes, the game just goes on and on... So, I wondered how long the average game takes and how often we get an "endless" game. This simulation runs 10,000 games and prints out the results.
Average turns: 14.1245 Max turns: 1000 Min turns: 4 Average turns for games under 20 turns: 9.6197 Games with turns over 10: 63.20% Games with turns over 20: 10.82% Games with turns over 30: 3.72% Games with turns over 40: 1.69% Games with turns over 50: 1.03% Games with turns over 100: 0.33% Games with no winner: 0.09% Player 1 wins: 32.93% Player 2 wins: 26.72% Player 3 wins: 21.52% Player 4 wins: 18.74%
Assuming this simulation is correct...
- Go first if your kid lets you.
- 10% of the time, the game has more than 20 turns. You'll want to bail long before that.
