hi, i am developing my Big2 card game AI,but I really have no idea of it. :( I know Big2 is imperfect information game. So anyone here can help me figure up what basic needed in writing Big2 AI? ps: Big2 is a chinese poker game. 4 players, one player start to throw his cards from 13 cards. other players follow to throw his cards with higher rank but same card type. The first player who finish his cards in hand is winner. 2 is the biggest, thus the name BIG2 2 A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

I've never played the game before, so my first question would be how do you determine what move to play? Sometimes people play games just using 'intuition', but they're just following rules without knowing it. You just need to find these rules :)

If you're still stumped, a common method for turn-based games is to do a recursive search of the possible moves and just pick the one which has the most favourable outcome. The furthur the computer looks ahead, the smarter it is. This can be very slow if you go too deep, so you may want to optimize it by only searching deeper on moves that are the most favourable. Good luck :)
