The irony is this shows the difference between decision theory and game theory. Players, mini-max or not, assume the universe i.e. the dice, are honest. This is decision theory.

In game theory (which, although this is a game, would not be game theory in this context) the universe is actively working against you.

You expect the world to be against you, in the NPCs and their actions. This is game theory, or your opposition in chess. Decision theory you expect fair rolls, so you can plan accordingly to deal with the game portion.
