If you enjoyed this, you might like some of the literature around boardgame research that uses Markov Chains. Prime examples are RISK and Monopoly, but someone wrote a thesis on "Analysis of 'The Settlers of Catan' Using Markov Chains" as well. I maintain a nice list at https://github.com/captn3m0/boardgame-research https://github.com/captn3m0/boardgame-research (grep for Markov). The DeepMind course on Reinforcement Learning covers Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) quite well in this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfHX2hHRMVQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfHX2hHRMVQ
