Logic / Probability Question: Picking from a bag
- by Rosarch
I'm coding a board game where there is a bag of possible pieces. Each turn, players remove randomly selected pieces from the bag according to certain rules.
For my implementation, it may be easier to divide up the bag initially into pools for one or more players. These pools would be randomly selected, but now different players would be picking from different bags. Is this any different?
If one player's bag ran out, more would be randomly shuffled into it from the general stockpile.
