چکیده
Introduction Modern board games are currently experiencing a golden age. There has been a huge increase in the number of games being produced, both in the United States and abroad. These games run the gamut from relatively simple, lightly themed games (such as Ticket to Ride, a set collection game about trains) to the surprisingly complex and in depth ones (such as Die Macher, a four-hour game about the German political system). Given this wide range of game types, this report seeks to analyze board game popularity through the lens of the gamers that make up the world-wide board gaming community.

متن کاملMonte-Carlo Tree Search: A New Framework for Game AI
Classic approaches to game AI require either a high quality of domain knowledge, or a long time to generate effective AI behaviour. These two characteristics hamper the goal of establishing challenging game AI. In this paper, we put forward Monte-Carlo Tree Search as a novel, unified framework to game AI. In the framework, randomized explorations of the search space are used to predict the most...
