Survey of Artificial Intelligence for Card Games and Its Application to the Swiss Game Jass
In the last decades we have witnessed the success of applications of
Artificial Intelligence to playing games. In this work we address the
challenging field of games with hidden information and card games in
particular. Jass is a very popular card game in Switzerland and is closely
connected with Swiss culture. To the best of our knowledge, performances of
Artificial Intelligence agents in the game of Jass do not outperform top
players yet. Our contribution to the community is two-fold. First, we provide
an overview of the current state-of-the-art of Artificial Intelligence methods
for card games in general. Second, we discuss their application to the use-case
of the Swiss card game Jass. This paper aims to be an entry point for both
seasoned researchers and new practitioners who want to join in the Jass
