AI Research

Super human AI agents have materially impacted how humans play chess, go, shogi, backgammon, poker, and many other games.

I love Star Realms. I'm curious how an super-human AI would play. The first questions I'm planning on answering is, for an opening hand trade-row that includes cutter, blob world, and supply bot, what is the optimal purchase? Also, early in the game, on the first turn, under what conditions would the AI not purchase Imperial Fighter?

I'm using this as an opportunity to learn more about reinforcement learning. If you'd like to learn more, find me through linkedIn, https://www.linkedin.com/in/owentbrown/.

See the experiments for concrete results — Elo rankings and how the opening buy shifts with starting authority — and the policies for the agents behind them.
