> In season 1 there were 3 games with guaranteed 50% or more dead (bridge, tug o war, marbles), plus the last couple rounds where the final contestants were pitted against each other.

Well, mathematetically the bridge game could have ended up with 0% dead, and according to the [Monte Carlo simulation](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/squid-game-korean-series-on-netflix-spoilers/951443/46) I wrote a few years ago, there was actually a 40% chance that half or more would survive if the players played it perfectly.
