Why do dice and cards make fair games?
You shuffle a deck of cards. Your friend rolls a pair of dice. ~~Nobody knows what's coming next~~ — and that's exactly

You shuffle a deck of cards. Your friend rolls a pair of dice. Nobody knows what's coming next — and that's exactly the point. These simple objects have been making games fair for thousands of years, but how does a cube with dots or a stack of paper rectangles keep anyone from cheating?

The secret is randomness — outcomes that nobody can predict or control. When you flip a coin, it could land heads or tails with equal chance. Fair dice and cards work the same way. They turn every player's luck into math.
