When will (game) wars end?
We study several variants of the classical card game war. As anyone who played this game knows, the game can take some time to terminate, but it usually does. Here, we analyze a number of asymptotic variants of the game, where the number of cards is $n$, and show that all have expected termination time of order $n^2$. This is the same expected termination time as in the game where at each turn a fair coin toss decides which player wins a card, known as Gambler's Ruin and studied by Pascal, Ferm…

Black Book is an interesting #game. It's a kind of crossover between an RPG game, an adventure game and a card game (first one I've ever played). It's kinda fun, but more importantly, it's deeply immersed in eastern Slavic folklore.

Learning to Beat ByteRL: Exploitability of Collectible Card Game Agents
While Poker, as a family of games, has been studied extensively in the last decades, collectible card games have seen relatively little attention. Only recently have we seen an agent that can compete with professional human players in Hearthstone, one of the most popular collectible card games. Although artificial agents must be able to work with imperfect information in both of these genres, collectible card games pose another set of distinct challenges. Unlike in many poker variants, agents m…
