Python implentation of the popular bluffing card game, Coup.

For a description of the rules, click here.

Player Descriptions:

1. Random

• all logic functions make completely random choices
• uses random_dispose, random_keep

2. Truth Teller

• only chooses moves that never bluff based on its own cards
• uses random_dispose, random_keep

3. User

• chooses moves based on user input to the terminal

4. Income

• always takes income or assinates/coups whenever possible
• uses random_dispose, random_keep

5. Neural Network

• utilizes Q-learning with a neural network to learn the best decision_fn
• uses income_block, random_dispose, random_keep

Running the program:

1. Create player objects using the various FUNCS from player.py
2. Put all players into the players list and create the game object.
3. Run python3 game.py

Model Files Format: "{number of players}-{number of episodes trained on}-{types of opponents}"

Missing Features / Bugs:

• Blocking the 'Steal' action is ambiguous, and doesn't force the player to specifically claim 'Captain' or 'Ambassador'
• Winning a challenge does not cause the player to reshuffle their card back into the deck
• There is no implementation for a GUI yet
• RL agents are only trained to be the first player, need to fix cases when they aren't first
