I’m putting together a small group to work on board game engines.
The idea:
We pick one board game (e.g., Splendor, Catan, etc.)
Everyone builds their own engine, solo or collaboratively (Bring your friends!)
We run engine vs engine matches, compare results, and improve engines
Share feedback, ideas, and improvements
Spend weeks/months on one game, then move on to the next
Why engine vs engine?
Engine vs human takes much longer
A single engine can’t really measure its strength without other engines
A group gives feedback, accountability, and motivation
Skill level isn’t super important—this is more about learning, experimenting, and iterating. Any language is fine as long as we can interface engines for matches.
If this sounds interesting, DM me for any questions and logistics!
