Many of you will likely remember that I play multiple moves each day if the opposition keeps up.

Luck is not an critical factor when u have pawns > 6  The Lesser the Pawns and player is, the more critical the luck factor just my 2 cents P. I think that skill is also in 2 players game (except for the 4 tiles games) I play 90% of the games in 2 players, then I'm only lucky
Not quite agree with your point. When I analyse the top players in Cartagena.
gloria, takeshi, Barracuda, terremoto, Magic, erizo, RAFA-003 and sbrinz
Here is my finding.
When playing 2 players game vs newbie. These players have an exceptionly high winning rate.
However, when facing equal skills opponent. The winning rate is merely 50-50. It show the corelations between skill and luck. If luck is the critical factor > 50%, the exceptionaly high winning rate against newbie is unreasonable.
However in the tournament mode, we should not encourage too much on luck. So I think 2-4 playes with a 6/7 tiles game is optimum.
I think that there's more luck in multiplayer 'cause if one leave a row of the same object or do some error, is the player after him that can gain the advantage and... more players, more luck is important
Not for 8 rows, 8 pawns game. But the problem of 4-5 players game is the game time 
In 5 players 6 tiles 6 pawns I think you can't bet on win, but in 2 players with enough tiles (6 or more) you can!
One games can't, but 5 or 10 consecutive games can
