Lex Fridman Podcast · #344 – Noam Brown: AI vs Humans in Poker and Games of Strategic Negotiation · 6 Dec 2022 podcast

Or, you know, yeah, just you can talk about like what you talked about with somebody else and gossip about like what they're planning.

The way that I would describe the game is that it's kind of like a mix between Risk, Poker, and the TV show Survivor.

There's like this big element of like trying to, yeah, there's a big social element.

And the best way that I would describe the game is that it's really a game about people rather than the pieces.

Yeah, so some players do go this route where they just like kind of view it as a strategy game, but also a role-playing game where they can like act out like, what would I be like if I was, you know, a leader of France in 1900?

Yeah, so on every turn, you've got a bunch of different units that you start out with.

So you start out controlling just a few units, and the object of the game is to gain control of a majority of the map.

If you're able to do that, then you've won the game.

But like I said, the only way that you're able to do that is by working with other players.

So on every turn, you can issue a move order.

So for each of your units, you can move them to an adjacent territory.

Or you can keep them where they are, or you can support a move or a hold of a different unit.

It's kind of like Risk, where the map is divided up into 50 different territories.

Now, you can enter a territory if you're moving into that territory with more support than the person that's in there or the person that's trying to move in there.

So if you're moving in and there's somebody already there, then if neither of you have support, it's a one versus one and you'll bounce back and neither of you will make progress.

If you have a unit that's supporting that move into the territory, then it's a two versus one and you'll kick them out and they'll have to retreat somewhere.

Support is like, it's an action that you can issue in the game.

So you can say this unit, you write down this unit is supporting this other unit into this territory.

They could be.
