Memoirs of a Board Gamer

Game looks cool, but yo've got cards that won't do anything except sit and vibrate! Stops the game in its tracks.

Yeah. There's an issue with beginning your turn while cards are still moving. That's my next fix. Thanks for the comment.

Fixed.

I've been playing your Coloretto game quite a bit lately. I seem to beat
the bots pretty consistently. I actually think the bots don't draw enough
cards and also are too willing to accept single "2" cards.

If you have beta tests of new versions, I'd love to be involved--I really
enjoy the game.

My plans are to work on the AI over the holidays if I can find some time. Thanks for your insights on improving it. I'll ping you when I'm ready.

Regards.

I've played Coloretto hundreds of times in real life. The AI in this is way too easy. I pretty much can't lose a round.

The chief problem is the computer is never greedy enough to occassionally chance waiting for a better row or turning cards when it's last guy out. And bailing out on a single +2 is a rare move for a player as the other person said. We even occasionally pass on wilds (not often though).

A couple of suggestions:

i) Try to get the computer to stay in until it can get near 4 points in a row. As the number of available rows decrease, it should conversely be more easily pleased
ii) Assign each computer player a risk factor between 0-1. 1 means always turn another card, .7 means 70% of time, 0 means never

Great input! Thanks.
