Abstract:

The novel Master of Go (Kawabata 1954) tells about a soon-retiring professional player of the board game Go. Loosely documenting a single yet nearly six months long match of Go that took place in 1938, the book explores an exciting game that reflected the changing times of post-war Japan. Intriguingly, the ‘master’ Hon’inbō Shūsai is also an avid player of games other than Go. This article demonstrates how the concepts ‘coincident play’ () and ‘continuum of play’ (2014) help to unpack how games co-exist in people’s lived experiences and thus support and relate to each other in non-trivial ways

In the last decade, gaming industry started seeing a rapid transformation from one-time charge and subscription based revenue models to freemium games with microtransactions. However, overwhelming the player base with microtransactions can lead to player frustration and resistance against the transactions, other players, and developers. Understanding the motivations behind gamers' purchases of virtual goods is crucial for game developers to tailor their offerings and increase sales, thus ensuring business sustainability.

Abstract:

This paper examines the varied cultural meanings of computer game play in competitive and professional computer gaming and live-streaming. To do so it riffs off Andrew Feenberg’s 1994 work exploring the changing meanings of the ancient board game of Go in mid-century Japan. We argue that whereas Go saw a de-aestheticization with the growth of newspaper reporting and a new breed of ‘westernized’ player, the rise of professionalized computer gameplay has upset this trend, causing a re-aestheticization of professional game competition as a result of the many informal elements that contribute to t

With our work, we make this step by letting users play the popular and well-researched game Tetris with BGM of their choice, and go one step further by adding music to the game that they specifically dislike, as this direction has been neglected thu

The compensation system called komi has been used in scoring games such as Go. In Go, White (the second player) is at a disadvantage because Black gets to move first, giving that player an advantage; indeed, the winning percentage for Black is higher. The perceived value of komi has been re-evaluated over the years to maintain fairness. However, this implies that this static komi is not a sufficiently sophisticated solution. We leveraged existing komi methods in Go to study the evolution of fairness in board games and to generalize the concept of fairness in other contexts. This work revisits

In the early stages of AI analysis, Go players relied solely on the AI win rate, the only available indicator. However, the AI win rate does not accurately reflect the win rate of human Go players and might be misleading. Katago, first released in 2019, is the first engine to provide scor

Abstract:

This study focuses on Sit and go poker tournaments, where a player with an advantage over her opponents needs to manage her bankroll properly. The study applies the Kelly criterion to games that have several outcomes, where the organizer charges a rake. The premise is that an advantage itself is not enough for a poker player to play at any stakes, because risking too large a fraction of the bankroll will result in a negative expected growth rate, even though the game itself is characterized by a positive expected value. Accordingly, this study uses a formula-based approach to address the chall

Abstract:

Through a combination of aesthetics and game mechanics, casual art games offer unique engagements with trauma, allowing players to practice grief or empathise with the traumatic experiences of others. Both “Spiritfarer” (Thunder Lotus Games 2020) and „Mutazione” (Die Gute Fabrik 2019) utilise similar aesthetics (2D art, pastel colours and calming music) alongside agency-driven gameplay mechanics (choosing when to let spirits go or how to react to a character’s trauma) that create a safe space. This is possible because neither game is competitive, nor does it allow the player to lose. Instead,

Abstract:

We studied the smartphone game, Pokémon Go, from the perspective of phenomenology and the player’s experience. The experience constitutes and is constituted by the concept of hybrid space, given by the presence and movement of the player in the ‘real’ and’ ‘virtual’ spaces. We operationalized the search through self-narratives produced by the main author of the paper in his actions as a player in the urban space of Santa Maria (RS). As a result, we verified that there is the crucial importance of the body and movement to produce the experience and that the hybrid space, conformed to the practi

As a result, we have been interacting with artificial intelligence in the competition and our environment without realizing it.

Abstract Dadu is a traditional board game exclusively played within the Muslim Dawoodi Bohra community in South Asia. Most households have their own hand-stitched cloth board, together with a set of wood-turned playing pieces and cowrie shells for dice. Though formally a two-player game, it is commonly played in large teams during family gatherings. Non-community members rarely take part and the game remains virtually unknown to outsiders. Descriptions of the game are absent from the scholarly literature and it does not find mention in any of the major game encyclopedias. Surviving boards and

In 2006, the first-person shooter F.E.A.R. makes headlines in the gaming world. One feature in particular attracts much attention: the non-playable characters seem to behave intelligently to a degree yet unseen in computer games. From earlier productions like No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 (2000, 2002), players were already familiar with NPCs that are able to seek cover under fire and to leave it at random in order to shoot back at the player. In F.E.A.R. that happens too, but in a much more realistic manner. Computer-controlled enemies attack players in a coordinated way. If one member of the

Abstract:

General Game Playing agents are required to play games they have never seen before simply by looking at a formal description of the rules of the game at runtime. Previous successful agents have been based on search with generic heuristics, with almost no work done into using machine learning. Recent advances in deep reinforcement learning have shown it to be successful in some two-player zero-sum board games such as Chess and Go. This work applies deep reinforcement learning to General Game Playing, extending the AlphaZero algorithm and finds that it can provide competitive results.

Vince and Sarah are playing the Factor Game, a two-person game in which me first player selects a number from 1 to 30 (see game board in fig. 1). The second player then selects all the divisors of the first number that are less than that number. If Vince begins the game by choosing 13, Sarah would select 1 because the divisors of 13 are 1 and 13 and Vince has already elected 13. The score is then 13 to 1 in favor of Vince. During the second round of play it is Sarah's turn to go first. She chooses 24 and has a total of 1 + 24 = 25 points. However, next Vince can select 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 (t

Abstract Despite many discoveries and proposals for rules for the ancient board game known as the Royal Game of Ur (RGU), no mathematical analysis has yet been performed investigating those rules. In an attempt to fill that gap, this paper presents an initial mathematical analysis of the RGU from an introductory point of view. The paper deduces the overall complexity of the RGU using a state-space and game-tree complexity analysis, allowing the RGU to be compared to the popular games Checkers, Backgammon, Ludo, Chess, and Go.
