ABSTRACT
While computer games can give users many other forms of immersive entertainment, the social richness that exists in face to face interactions is being lost. In this paper we start by presenting a brief review on artificial board game opponents. Given the current limitations in such opponents and with the final goal of building a Risk game artificial opponent, we describe an empirical study where utterances that human players vocalize in their games were categorized and analyzed.

A Grounded Analysis of Player-Described Board Game Immersion
CHI PLAY '20: Proceedings of the Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in PlaySubstantial research has explored the experience of immersion in digital games, but it is unclear whether this phenomenon extends to other game genres such as board games. Immersion is a concept widely discussed in the board game community by both ...
Socially present board game opponents
ACE'12: Proceedings of the 9th international conference on Advances in Computer EntertainmentThe real challenge of creating believable and enjoyable board game artificial opponents lies no longer in analysing millions of moves per minute. Instead, it lies in creating opponents that are socially aware of their surroundings and that can interact ...
Gamifying Serious Games: Modding Modern Board Games to Teach Game Potentials
Gaming, Simulation and Innovations: Challenges and OpportunitiesAbstractThe growing interest in game-based approaches is evident. But establishing Gamification and Serious Game processes are challenging, especially when there are few available resources and game design knowledge. Low-tech and low-budget games can be ...
