[QUOTE="Balesir, post: 5992837, member: 27160"] After you pointed me to this thread I thought about a long and detailed counter, but actually I figure the best answer I can give is the game I was playing this last weekend: Fiasco. It has the most understandable cause and effect and the most intense unpredictability of pretty much any game I have tried. It's also one of the closest to pure improv. And yet it uses just the sort of "know the resolution before the "how" of that resolution is determined" that you are objecting to. It's also, quite by the bye, a total blast to play! (This weekend was my first time - but it won't be the last!) And, funnily enough, Fiasco is definitely a game [I]you[/I] should try, as it does almost exactly this (except that it's the dice other players choose to give you, not the roll on a specific die, that decide how things work out for you...)
