The role of dice in world domination — a case study of Risk: the board game
Dr. Balázs Dávid, InnoRenew CoE, UP FAMNIT in UP IAM
Board games have been an integral part of human history across cultures and societies, and the theory and strategies of traditional games such as Chess and Go have long been studied and analyzed. In this talk, we explore the mathematical mechanics behind a much more recent — though a classic by modern standards — board game: Risk. We will showcase how game states can be represented and how transitions between these states can be described with the help of probability theory, more specifically, Markov chains.
