Bonus post! To fully test a few of the observations in the last post related to the Kings, I coded up a four-player version of Ninety-Eight that changed the value...
Ninety-Eight is looking like a quick game with some strategy for the players and a consistent number of choices, given our previous statistical analysis, Now let’s see how it scores...
With the basic Ninety-Eight coded in RECYCLE, it is time to run many simulations in CardStock with both random and AI players. To gather statistics for this and the next...
For our third game, we will look at Ninety-Eight, a simple game from the adding genre of care games, which also includes Cribbage. Sometimes called Ninety-Nine, this game is alternately...
The Shape of Card Games is an attempt to quantify the mechanics, genres, strategy, and tactics found across many different types of card games.
