What Makes A Good Game?

The luck factor is very important in a game. Games are dependent on luck, in order for people to be addicted to it. You do something lucky, like defeating a superior fleet, and you want to try to do it again, this time with skill.

Actually I think one should try to avoid dice rolls as much as possible in a game. As long as you get lucky it's allright of course, but eventually you'll have a streak of bad luck. That stuff can really ruin the fun in a game. I know it does for me, I hate it when I see my 3 dragoons lose to one soldier in colonization for example...
