Usage:
import Dominion
import Dominion.Strategies
main = dominion ["adit" `uses` bigMoney, "maggie" `uses` bigMoneySmithy]Or you can pass in options:
players = ["adit" `uses` bigMoney, "maggie" `uses` bigMoneySmithy]
main = dominionWithOpts [Log True, Iterations 1] playersStrategies
Here's a simple strategy, the "big money" strategy:
bigMoney playerId = playerId `buysByPreference` [province,
gold,
duchy,
silver,
copper]The big money strategy is simple: buy the most expensive victory or treasure card you can, and repeat.
bigMoneySmithy playerId = do
playerId `plays` smithy
playerId `buysByPreference` [province,
gold,
duchy,
smithy,
silver,
copper]It's just like big money, except now the player buys up smithys too. And the player plays a smithy whenever possible. So now we can compare Big Money vs Big Money + Smithy. And the results are:
Out of 5000 games:
player adit won 1867 times using "big money"
player maggie won 3133 times using "big money + smithy"
Just as a control, lets use the same strategy with both players:
player adit won 2444 times
player maggie won 2556 times
So clearly, adding the smithy to big money makes a big difference!
Followup actions
Some action cards have a followup action. For example, if you use throne room, you can pick another card and play it twice. Here's how that looks:
throneRoom playerId = do
playerId `plays` throneRoom `with` (ThroneRoom market)And of course you can play throne room on throne room:
multiThroneRoom playerId = do
playerId `plays` throneRoom `with` (ThroneRoom throneRoom) `withMulti` [ThroneRoom market,
ThroneRoom market]Documentation
