It’s easy to set up and implement (more on that later). Even though there’s no skill involved, it’s still a confidence booster to win.
Pure luck gives everyone a chance to be a winner. Students who need a bit more time processing have just as much of a chance to win. Most students have this knowledge locked down.

I’ll detail how and why, and then I’ll break down how to make a game of your own so you can play on the fly with minimal prep needed.
