We're playing a popular board game about snatching up real estate in Atlantic City. I need you finish out the CapitalismHand class. First off, make sure it always rolls two D6s.

hands.py
from dice import D6


class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=0, die_class=None, *args, **kwargs):
        if not die_class:
            raise ValueError("You must provide a die class")
        super().__init__()

        for _ in range(size):
            self.append(die_class())
        self.sort()

    def _by_value(self, value):
        dice = []
        for die in self:
            if die == value:
                dice.append(die)
        return dice


class CapitalismHand(Hand):
    @property
    def ones(self):
        return self._by_value(1)

    @property
    def twos(self):
        return self._by_value(2)

    @property
    def threes(self):
        return self._by_value(3)

    @property
    def fours(self):
        return self._by_value(4)

    @property
    def fives(self):
        return self._by_value(5)

    @property
    def sixes(self):
        return self._by_value(6)

    @property
    def _sets(self):
        return {
            1: len(self.ones),
            2: len(self.twos),
            3: len(self.threes),
            4: len(self.fours),
            5: len(self.fives),
            6: len(self.sixes)
        }

    class Die():
        def score_sixes(self):
            return sum(hand.sixes)

make sure it always rolls two D6s

The Hand class can be created with any number of any class of die. In the CapitalismHand, you need to override the init method so that it will always have two dice, and the die class should be set to D6.

Let me know if you can figure it out now!

Cheers :beers:
