Abstract

Using AI techniques to design and play-test modern tabletop board games

Speaker: James Goodman

Automated testing of computer games has been around for a while; this talk is on work to extend this to analogue modern tabletop board games ('Eurogames'). We have been working with game designers to integrate AI testing into their design process, and complement human play-testing with data that provides actionable insights on tweaking the rules for the next cycle of the design loop.
