Designing and implementing Cluedo Card Game

Abstract

Cluedo Card Game is a simulation game of a simple murder case. It is a board card game played by four players. Assuming Dr Black was killed in his house. Each player should guess three unknown target cards: who was the murder, in what part of the house was Dr. Black killed, and what kind of the weapon was the murder used to kill Dr. Black. There is only one possibility answer out of five possibilities locations in house, four kinds of weapons and six possibilities murders. The winner of the game is the fastest player who is able to guess correctly the three unknown target cards. The purpose of this research is to build three intelligent computer players with three kinds of strategies. The first strategy called as risk strategy, is when the computer player knows two target cards, the player guess intelligently the other unknown target card randomly. The second strategy namely moderate strategy is same as the first one but also knowing one other unknown target card with better possibility than that of the one. The last strategy, accurate strategy, never does guessing. The result of the experiment shows that the third strategy is more intelligent than that of the others strategies.
