Yeah, I was reading about that game the other day.  I think the banker offers a lower value early on and it gets better the longer people stay in the game (or until they shoot themselves in the foot).

For a game to be fun and interesting, I think there has to be risk, strategy, and the possibility of managing expected values as things go on.  That's probably why games like chess and go have been around forever.

WARK!
