The name isn't as POV as it seems; it refers to "games which are biased in a particular player's favor, assuming equal skill." In any event, it only has one item, and doesn't look like it will grow much. —tregoweth 04:50, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep - unfair games are mentioned in game theory as a game where a given player has an advantage. According to this definition, the game does not have to be un-winable. A google search for "game theory"+"unfair game" turns up 608 hits. Among these hits is this one claiming Dreidel is an unfair game: http://mathforum.org/library/resource_types/games/?keyid=11792260&start_at=51&num_to_see=50 This is a well known game so perhaps it will be added to this category with others.
  • Comment. Why isn't Tic-Tac-Toe in there? More seriously, I'm concerned that one of the two articles, Last stone game, includes two other uncreated categories, Category:Number games and Category:Tricks. This topic of game categories needs review by someone who is familiar with it. -Willmcw 11:16, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Well, now it has two entries but unfair games doesn't even have an article. RedWolf 06:35, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
