Right so, you don’t need to talk to them. If you guess wrong about their gender identity, there’s no risk you insult them. That’s the difference.
I wasn't trying to be trans-phobic. I was just wondering how you are supposed to resolve it when you think you have 4 kings and the person you are playing against thinks that two of them are queens.
That’s a fair question. The game sorta suffers from a lot of ambiguity, like with the elderly. I think I just misread you because of that guy who responded to you.
The card games listed have the information aspect in common. The slot machine is not a Poker, it's a poker-themed slot machine and the game people play with it is called losing money.
“Poker is a family of _comparing_ card games in which players _wager_ over which hand is best according to that specific game’s rules.” — [WikiPedia]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker ) I don’t think I would have gone for that definition, but now that I see it, it sums up everything I’ve ever known “Poker” to be. The game is won by comparing cards you have left (meaning that Rummy, Go Fish, or Bridge are different…
I totally agree, but I stand by the opinion that imperfect-information bit is so essential that it's simply assumed (it's, naturally, not specific to just poker card games, though). If you come to the table with your own stack of cards to draw from, it's very likely going to end badly for you, depending on how transparent you're with the matter.
The most obvious issues with this is that the game boils down to predicting passenger patterns, but you're still just comparing two RNGs, which is one of the worst kinds of games. I also don't think this can be called Poker, really. Poker is an imperfect information game, where your hand tells you some information about your opponents' hands. It would be interesting to read HN's ideas on how you can simulate the shar…

... your comment is that you're trying to analyse everything instead of just having fun. Not everything is a math' problem. It's OK to have fun things that don't make sense. I don't think the author is trying to create a perfect gaming experience. I think the author is just trying to have fun.
Humans slaved away to give me the perfect entertainment device at my finger tips and you're trying to drag me away with what looks to be the most boring game I've ever seen?
And to think Poker is the right move after we all battle our Balatro addiction?

I'm just pondering on how to change the game so it becomes more fun for me. Coincidentally, I know I can have a great time playing a game commonly known as Poker, so it's natural to compare the two.
I also expect HN to have lots more people interested in game theory and game design than any random place so it seemed appropriate to share and invite people to throw ideas about (which is also kind of fun).
Is human behaviour not predicable enough for you? I bet passengers are more likely to congregate on the side that the door enters/exits, etc
You can definitely select a new hand each station by making inappropriate gestures or sounds.
I was waiting for the author to discuss actual strategies, like subtly herding new passengers toward a seat, sitting in your own row so you can get up when the right person comes along and graciously offer them your seat, saying "I think there's some spilled Sprite there" if the wrong person attempts to sit down (only if there are plenty of seats left, of course), etc.
> Selecting a row near the doors can increase the likelihood of passenger turnover I don't think that's true. People get off when they get to their destination whether or not it is easy to reach the door, and sit in available spaces.
People that only have a few stations to go tend to sit closer to doors. But also, now that I think about it, this may only be caused by french metro layouts, I'm from France too and this fact seems true to me. If your train is only a long corridor with seats on the edges, the "difficulty" of getting to/from a door is almost the same everywhere. But in the french metro you have foldable seats right next to the doors,…
I mean, I totally agree, but I assumed you would play during high traffic when all seats are taken. The rules don't even say what you do with a non-full hand.
