I can't believe how much bad press this game gets because 99.9% of players feel it is 100% luck.
I don't know if I'm imagining things or if I just have extremely good luck at this game but I feel, given a thorough knowledge of the game, that there is room for alot of strategy in this game.
There are certain choices in this game that can be wrong if decided by a novice but can win the game if decided by a veteran player.
Yes, the winner is determined by who has the winning carrot, but getting that winning carrot is the strategy of it. If a veteran is playing, his chances of winning are increased. In a game of luck, this is not the case. Jeff is a math teacher, I'm sure he could crunch the numbers involved in the probability of winning and such. Regardless, I don't think this game is all luck.
It's only luck if you have no knowledge of the game.
