Welcome to the Colloquium on Games of Strategy. Games of Strategy is a textbook on game theory written by Dixit (not the game), Skeath, and Reiley that we are reading to help improve our analysis of board games and board game design. Paul Owen (owns 3rd edition) and I (own the 2nd and 1st editions) record a discussion about a chapter or two from the book every few weeks.
In the ninth episode we talk about how players respond to uncertainty and information within games. Highlights include a discussion on the benefits of holding asymmetric information and tactics to counter your opponent's information edge. Can players provide a creditable signal in your game or is everything just cheap talk.
