Board Games are a combination of:
* Skill
* Luck
If a game was 100% luck, for example Snakes and Ladders, your chance of winning is 1 in the number of players.
If the game was 100% skill, it would depend on your skill in the game. For example if you were hopeless at Chess, your chance of winning could be 0.
Many board games, including Scrabble & monopoly have a combination of skill and luck and thus the chance of winning will depend on your skill with an adjustment depending on the affect of the luck factor.

The probability of winning two games with the same probability of 0.8 can be calculated by multiplying the probability of winning the first game (0.8) by the probability of winning the second game (0.8). Therefore, the probability is 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64, or 64%.
If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%
Probability could be used in a sport to test or experiment the chances of getting an injury or losing/winning a game.

A fair chance of winning is more than 50% chance of winning. Therefore probability = 0.5 We need to find a fair chance of winning atleast one match. 1-(5/6)^n > 0.5 hence, n=4 QED (quite easily done, :-p)
