	Game theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics that studies strategic situations where players choose different actions in an attempt to maximize their returns.
		Game theorists may assume players always act rationally to maximize their wins (the Homo economicus model), but real humans often act either irrationally, or act rationally to maximize the wins of some larger group of people (altruism).
		Game theory experienced a flurry of activity in the 1950s, during which time the concepts of the core, the extensive form game, fictitious play, repeated games, and the Shapley value were developed.

		Card's later books tend to be a little too influenced by his Mormonism for my liking, but you can't have everything.
		Orson Scott Card is a prick capitalizing on his one success, I kept buying his books hoping that "the next one" would have to be good, but it never was.
		also i saw a pbs interview with card last year and he said that a motion picture version of ender's game was in the works.

	Ender's Game Summary & Essays - Orson Scott Card
		In 1985, the author developed Ender's Game into a novel, and it became the work which established his reputation as one of science fiction's most prominent new writers.
		Ender's Game follows the training of Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, a six-year-old genius who may be Earth's only hope for victory against an invasion of insectoid aliens.
		While most critics consider the plot elements of human-against-alien and the child-soldier to be science-fiction cliche, Card renders them new with his stress on the underlying themes of empathy, compassion, and moral intent.

		Card's masterpiece with an overall level of quality that few others have been able to replicate.

	Parlett on Skat (1) Introduction
		Though comparable to Bridge in depth and variety, it is essentially a classless game, being played as enthusiastically in homes and pubs as it is played seriously in clubs and tournaments under the aegis of the German Skat Federation.
		Skat is a trick-taking game for three, played with a 32-card pack containing no cards lower than 7.
		A British Skat Association dedicated to promoting this wonderful game was formally launched at a tournament held at Oxford in March 2001, organised by Nick Wedd, John McLeod and me. We hope eventually to affiliate to the International Skat-Players Association and take part in international tournaments.

		Ive heard alot of people mention OSC as one of their favourite writers, but I just felt that 'Ender's Game' was a little childish.

	Rules of Card Games: Tresillo
		In a three-player game, if all three active players passed and no one has the espada (because it is in the heap), then the deal is cancelled, and the turn passes to the next dealer, who must place one more tanto in the plato as usual.
		There are only three cards left in the heap after the declarer has taken 10, so the first opponent can discard up to three cards, replacing them from the heap, and if any are then left the second opponent can discard up to the number remaining.
		It is clear from the Spanish literature on this game that there were and probably still are many variations played in different parts of Spain and among different circles of players.

	Creating Chrononauts
		Late one night last January, I had a vision of a time travel card game that would be fast, easy to learn, and totally fun to play, in which players could change history, explore alternate histories, and bring home souvenirs like dinosaurs and other stuff that doesn't exist anymore.
		I wanted my third card game to provide all the thrills of time travel with the same sort of fast, easy-to-play fun as my first two card games, Fluxx and Aquarius.
		At first I envisioned a card deck filled with famous historical events, five to seven of which might be out on the table at any given time; but this quickly evolved into an ever-present grid of 32 cards that simulates the TimeLine of Changeable History.

		While three- and four-round games are unsatisfying (hence, my desire to alter the ending condition) I find it unlikely that anyone will complain that an 11-round game was too short.
		To boost sales for literature on what will never be bigger than a niche card game, I'll hire some elves to sneak copies into the self-help sections of bookstores.
