Choice vs. Chance

• Every day we make choices based on the chance
  that certain events might occur.

  occur.
• Then we examine the consequence of the event and
  make a decision.

The Game of Skunk

• The object of skunk is to have the most points
  after 5 rounds.
• A player gets the total of the dice and records
  it in his/her column, unless a one comes up.
• If a one comes up, play is over for that round
  and all the players points in that column are
  wiped out.
• If double ones come up, all points accumulated
  in prior columns are wiped out as well.
• If a one doesnt occur, the player may choose
  either to try for more points on the next roll or
  to stop and keep what he/she has accumulated.
