Immunity Challenge #5 - The Coin and the Stone


Overview: Both tribes will begin the challenge with 10 guilder coins. When a tribe no longer has any coins, they are out of the challenge.

Each round, there will be a number of spaces. One tribe will select which of the three spaces they would like to place the stone. The other tribe must attempt to guess which space they placed the stone. They will do this by placing coins on the spaces. They must leave at least one space blank, but can place a coin on as many of the other spaces as they wish. The space(s) that the tribe does not place any coins on, the other tribe must place a coin(s).

The tribe which has a coin on the space with the stone wins all of the coins on the board. The tribe with the most amount of coins will place the stone while the tribe with the least amount of coins will decide where and how many coins to bet first.



Rules:
• Each tribe should select a leader. The leader will be the ones making the final calls on where to place the coins/stones after consulting their tribe. Their word is final and cannot be changed after the fact.
• Once a tribe is out of coins, they are out of the challenge.
• The number of spaces in a round will increase with each subsequent round.
• If both tribes have an equal number of coins, the tribe that has just acted will be placing the stone.



Example:

Image

In this instance, let's say Tribe A placed the stone on space #1. It is then Tribe B's job to guess where they placed the stone. They chose to place one coin on space #1. This forces Tribe A to place coins on the remaining spaces (space 2 and 3).

Because Tribe B correctly guessed where Tribe A placed the stone, they take all the coins the board leaving Tribe A with 2 less coins.



Required Number of Players Per-Tribe: 1+

#2515 We pick place to pout our coins, once flipped the tribe with the coin on the space with the item wins all the coins on the board. The team with the lowest will place first and then the other team must fill the remaining spots.

#2517 Is there any kind of winning strategy to this? It seems like it's all going to come down to luck. I guess whoever the leader is, find some kind of RNG online that you can use to decide where to place the rock so you don't fall into any kind of pattern that they might be able to figure out.

#2521 Okay I think I get it now. If we are the guessers is it better to bet more coins to increase our chances of getting the stone or not? My guess would be to do that to increase our odds but of course that increases how many coins we may lose if we're wrong.

#2524 So what would happen if the Tribe in the example had guessed the Spot 3 instead of Spot 1 (the correct one). How would that coin counts shake up?

#2530 So we can either guess one spot and be more likely to lose, but greater benefits, or we can guess two spots and be more likely to win, but less benefits?

I think this is right? Guessing more coins has more of a risk, I believe, but a higher chance of getting more coins if you are right.

#2537 So they place one stone, and we have to guess where it is. They then have to cover all the spaces we dont guess. If we guess the right spot, then we get all the coins they put up. If not they take all the coins we put on the board.

Not a higher chance of getting more coins but a higher chance of correctly guessing where the rock is. I think.
