This means that you can not say your loss came down to a single dice roll.
Rather it came down to the cumulative effect of all the dice rolls, and all the decisions, made throughout the entire game.
King Of Tokyo is not a game of pure luck, like tossing a coin.

I never said it was pure luck. LCR is a game of pure luck. Candyland is a game of pure luck. KoT is a game of *mostly* luck. Yes, there were many other lucky events, an ebb and flow of chance, but in the end it was down to a single die roll. As I said above, I had a 1/6 chance of losing and a 5/6 chance of winning on that die roll and that die roll alone.
You may not have explicitly said it's a game of pure luck, but by saying that your winning or losing came down to a 1/6 vs 5/6 roll of a die, you are treating it like one.
That 1/6 vs 5/6 comparison only holds true if you ignore absolutely everything that went before it in the game.
You cannot simply treat each dice roll as an isolated event.
