I'll play it next time I see them :)
Now I'm wondering which is the best strategy you can follow if the other players follow an unknown non-optimal strategy (like selecting 1,2 or 3 with p=1/3). Maybe it's a good scenario to try some reinforcement learning
- gus_massa 4y agoThere is a nice strategy that is playing always 1, and claiming it. Everyone else should not play 1 because otherwise they would not win. But if no one else plays 1, you win. So they must take turns to lose and make you lose. It's a good strategy to not meet them again ever :)
- tromp 4y agoThe other players then always pick 1 and 2, making the latter the winner, and you always the loser. But in this case you lose no matter what strategy you use; you only get to decide which of the other players wins. That's why the article analyses the case where the other players use the same strategy.
- gus_massa 4y agoIt's more fun with more players. They can discuss who is going to lose the round because of choosing 1 to block you. Someone can refuse to collude, so another must take the turn. Someone can decide to become a vigilante and choose always 1 to block you. Humans are very fun!
- planede 4y ago> unknown non-optimal strategy The hard part is to establish a prior for this "unknown". Otherwise you can't say anything.
