I really like the ideas. So far this is my set of 🤓 nerdy cards (although Agile Poker is not really a game).
Especially the "Exploding Git Commits" is nice, since I'm an Exploding Kittens fan. 💥🐱
Cash you recommend other games?

Reducing Cartel Violence: The Mexican Dilemma Between Social and Security Spending
Organised crime in Mexico threatens societal stability and public safety, driving pervasive violence and economic disruption. Despite security investments and social programs designed in part to reduce involvement in crime, cartel power and violence continue to persist. This study evaluates existing policies and introduces a novel framework using optimal control theory to analyse cartel dynamics. Specifically, by modelling resource allocation between security measures and social programs, we id…

Maximizing Social Welfare with Side Payments
We examine normal-form games in which players may \emph{pre-commit} to outcome-contingent transfers before choosing their actions. In the one-shot version of this model, Jackson and Wilkie showed that side contracting can backfire: even a game with a Pareto-optimal Nash equilibrium can devolve into inefficient equilibria once unbounded, simultaneous commitments are allowed. The root cause is a prisoner's dilemma effect, where each player can exploit her commitment power to reshape the equilibri…

I second Peter Sjökvist's suggestion and wonder if there is any library catalogue that has such granular identifiers.

The Chinese garden is not just a single, independent entity built for crafting landscapes or modelling nature itself, it is a lexicon of symbols, layered upon built reality.

Emergent Social Dynamics of LLM Agents in the El Farol Bar Problem
We investigate the emergent social dynamics of Large Language Model (LLM) agents in a spatially extended El Farol Bar problem, observing how they autonomously navigate this classic social dilemma. As a result, the LLM agents generated a spontaneous motivation to go to the bar and changed their decision making by becoming a collective. We also observed that the LLM agents did not solve the problem completely, but rather behaved more like humans. These findings reveal a complex interplay between …

The conundrum of progress.

This paragraph from Peopleware (in Chapter 21, under subheading "Management by Hysterical Optimism") is one I think about a lot.

The Economics and Game Theory of OSINT Frontline Photography: Risk, Attention, and the Collective Dilemma
This paper develops an economic model of the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) attention economy in contemporary armed conflict. We conceptualize attention (e.g. social media views, followers, likes) as revenue, and time and risk spent in analysis as costs. Using utility functions and simple game theoretic setups, we show how OSINT actors (amateurs, journalists, analysts, and state operatives) allocate effort to maximize net attention benefit. We incorporate strategic behaviors such as a first m…

Validating Generative Agent-Based Models of Social Norm Enforcement: From Replication to Novel Predictions
As large language models (LLMs) advance, there is growing interest in using them to simulate human social behavior through generative agent-based modeling (GABM). However, validating these models remains a key challenge. We present a systematic two-stage validation approach using social dilemma paradigms from psychological literature, first identifying the cognitive components necessary for LLM agents to reproduce known human behaviors in mixed-motive settings from two landmark papers, then usi…
