My extended family has a betting thing on the sportsball thingy. For science I participate but with my scores randomized. I believe I’m in the top three so far in this part.

I’m pretty sure soccer results are 95% chance. A good lesson for game designers. Soccer is almost always uncertain to the end. Many of my failed board game designs have been failures mostly because of anticlimactic end games.

Sometimes I see design discussions where people say adapting soccer to a boardgame is tricky because so much of it seems to come down to the ball movement and a random outcome on kicks. Hard to make that compelling for a whole 1v1 game.

Many board games get there the complete other way right? A sea of fairly trivial optimization points, so that all players can play well, end up with scores close to each other, and then it comes down to the final few points in the end, right?

Some, yeah. Others just obscure the scores until a counting phase at the end to avoid situations where you just wail on who's in #1. It's also a way to keep people optimistic and invested.
