But (Destiny)

Well, a coin toss is a perfectly balanced game. 50/50. Equal chance. But it sucks. That's because real games HAVE imbalance, and the fun is trying to exploit that imbalance while preventing your opponent from exploiting it himself.

Imbalance or the lack thereof isn't why coin flips are boring. It's because there's no substance.

Imagine a game like chess, except both players go at once, by writing down their move privately, and then they're resolved simultaneously, a la Diplomacy. Have it so that if two pieces land in the same place in the same turn, they're both lost.

This game would be perfectly balanced, AND a real game.

But this is a tangent, all because you're saying things that are wrong but aren't actually critical to your point again.

...Now I want to play this game.
