Tombstones mini game is wigging me out......

I'm curious if anyone else feels like their getting ravaged by the Tombstones mini card game in Wellsprings. I thought these mini games were provided for entertainment, and to allow the player to earn some much needed extra cash to buy supplies.

I'm not a statistician, but there is no way in heck the odds are anything remotely fair in that game. If each dice is either Kill o killed, that's a fifty percent chance a dice will be one or the other. It doesn't play that way at all. Four skulls in a row, again and again and again. It also seem to respond to an in game save. If I make a bit of money, and fear losing it, when I start the game again, I can almost predict with certainty the odds that the first roll is going to be four skulls is ridiculously high. Does the game think I'm cheating because I've saved, and is punishing me? That's what it feels like.

I'm just really frustrated playing this mini game, but if you need the cash, you have to at least give it a shot. I can't think of a game I've ever played, where a mini game makes you mad as hell at the dev's. I mean, I don't know who was in charge of coding the probability curve for this mini game, but I want to run him over with my Cuprino!

Having said all this, and planning to call a therapist after I finish posting, I do have to comment that the mini game is without question one of the coolest I've ever seen. Short, sweet, great animation and graphics. It'd be an incredible joy to play if the odds were simply "fair".

Enjoying the heck out of the game, except for freaking out over getting [censored] by the Tombstone mini game. :)
