The Oligarch Game: use coin-tosses to demonstrate "winner take all" and its power to warp perceptions

The game is not, nor attempts to be, a model of how economies work. It serves to demonstrate bugs in human perception of chance outcomes. It contributes to understanding of social wealth discourse. But not of how wealth, or distribution of wealth, arises.

I call bullshit on this however. it DOES show the wrong perceptions that is true but in the current market of billionaires who hoard this game represents it quite well. you want it fixed? fine create a cost that all have to pay keep it, lets say every 12 rounds players pay a buck. the game will still end the same or end up there faster.
