OCTI Challenger: Donald Green OCTI is a simple, yet deep game of strategy designed to give humans an edge over computers. The basic premise of the game is that players build their pieces as they play. On each turn, a player must decide whether to move a piece, improve a piece, or add a new piece to the board. This simple framework creates an extraordinary array of strategic options and plays to "human" strengths: long-term planning and heuristic reasoning. GAMES MAGAZINE named OCTI "Best Abstract Strategy Game of the Year." For a description of the game and other reviews, visit www.octi-online.com. OCTI AI Tournament Computer Olympiad 2004 Competitions will be held for the following OCTI variants: I. OCTI on a 6x7 board II. OCTI on a 9x9 board, playing to capture all three enemy bases Each game will be played under a two-hour time limit for each player. Robot-designers need not be in attendance in order to compete. For the 9x9 games, basic rules apply (i.e., no wrap-around board, no super- prongs). The OCTI tournament is sponsored by prof. Donald Green (Yale University). He offers $1000 to the winner of each OCTI tournament. www.cs.unimaas.nl/olympiad2004
