Chris, WTF?
This is a simulator to play against the Big Money Strategy in any game of Dominion. Instead of simulating just one player, I'm simulating the entire Multiverse of Luck for a single game of Dominion. Wait! Please don't leave!
Every time you draw 5 cards from your Deck, you get one of many hands you could have drawn. Think of the 3/4 vs. 2/5 opening hand split. After those first two hands, with the first shuffle of your discard pile, the possibilities EXPLODE. You can see the sheer number of ways our Big Money Player could have gotten to their current score in the "Paths" column!
From that number, we derive a "Percentile" for each "Score". If you are beating a row on the table, you are beating that percent of Big Money Players. Any rows above that are Big Money attempts lucky enough to be doing better than you. Hover over the Paths number to see an example deck.
Example
The luckiest Big Money Players buy their first Province on Round 5. After Round 6, of the 5,072 ways the deck could be shuffled and drawn, 634 were able to buy a Province.
After Round 6 ~ 3 VP
| Score | Percentile | Paths |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 100% | 634 |
| 3 | 87.5% | 4,438 |
If your score after Round 6 is higher than 3 VP, you are outpacing 87.5% of the Multiversal Army of Big Money Capitalists. Since more than half of our bots have 3 VP or less, the baseline is 3 VP. Hence, the table heading reads "After Round 6 ~ 3 VP".
