Many games often share common ideas or aspects between them, such as their rules,
controls, or playing area. However, in the context of General Game Playing (GGP) for board …

In a two-player zero-sum game, players classically want to maximise their chance of
winning. When a game has more than two players, using the binary win rate as an objective …

This paper presents a general approach for measuring distances between board games
within the Ludii general game system. These distances are calculated using a previously …

In this study, the authors investigate role-playing game design through the lens of
instructional design practice to probe the ecosystem of tabletop role-playing games …

In this paper we present a process for automatically generating manuals for board games
within the Ludii general game system. This process requires many different sub-tasks to be …

General Game Playing (GGP) is a field of study in which artificial agents are required to
compete in games whose rules are not known until runtime. In this domain, time is at a …

One of the core challenges considered in the field of artificial intelligence research is the
development of algorithms and computer programs that can autonomously plan, make …
