It’s a fun comparison, but the numbers are on wildly different scales. In Gwent you’re drawing, say, six cards out of a deck of a few hundred, so a decent hand might show up about 1 or 2 percent of the time. That’s a 1‑in‑50 chance or so, nothing exotic. A star, on the other hand, lives for millions or billions of years. For a typical Sun‑like star, the odds of it burning out in the next million years are basically zero—think one chance in a billion or more. Even massive stars, which die quicker, have lifetimes of a few million years, so the chance of a star of that type ending in a specific one‑million‑year window is still extremely low, on the order of a few percent at most. So while both involve probability, a winning hand in Gwent is a comparatively common event in gaming terms, whereas a star burning out in a fixed million‑year slice is astronomically rare. The universe is full of these scales of chance—just remember to keep both your poker face and your telescope ready for the surprises they bring.

Sounds like a solid strategy—watch the horizon and keep your cards close. In both games, the universe is full of surprises, and the real thrill comes from staying curious about what comes next.
