You clearly haven't spent enough time searching for mythical gold and treasure. But I suppose the probability of finding any today are rather low so we'll just have to make our own treasure fortress instead.
I've played video games before. [ well, okay, they've mostly watched other people play video games before. ] That's basically searching for mythical gold and treasure.
[ with probably much more patience than your average younger sibling, they will just stand beside him and watch him play games, their hands behind their back. whee! ]
Many electronic versions of these games are statistically less likely to allow success. I suppose this is possible with the more traditional games too, but there is more opportunity to develop a skill to counter the physical than a random number generator.
Usually by that time, they've already won their fair share of gold swindling the rest of the public out of their coin. It's no good to get too confident in your unwinnable prizes after all.

I think people use them to shape their castles. And to transport water. I doubt there are any underground sandcastles just waiting to be excavated.

I like the way you think. We should just focus on clearing out all the treasures for ourselves.

[ they enjoyed building a 'sandcastle' but seem to be perking up a bit, like maybe this sounds more fun now. ]

Somehow I think that'll be more productive than anything else we're doing right now.

I think you are correct.

Well then, onwards to better treasures and less sand in odd places.

I have had my eye on one of the teddy bears behind the prize counter.

Oh? A cute one I hope. I can't say I'll be any good at these games, but I'll certainly try.

[ when they get there they will point it out and it's one of those extremely jank prize stuffed animals that clearly wasn't put together right. ]

I see. How unique.

This was far easier than I expected to be.

I am very impressed! Did you have games like these in life?
no subject
Close. Simple things you would find at any faire. The concepts seem to remain mostly the same throughout the ages.
