We’re inviting experts in Mathematics and Math competitors to represent their community (though all are welcome) in an experiment where we ponder which of 4 cohorts can master an unfamiliar card game the fastest.

Mathematicians

Programmers

Chess Players

Magic the Gathering Players

For the Mathematician cohort, we’re curios to see how mathematical abstraction and problem-solving translates to learning an abstract card game whose card interactions are based on Octonion multiplication.

Play online against the computer. No ads, emails, or monetization. Games are short, ~20 would help to measure a learning curve. Data your games provide will populate the tables/figures in real-time. See your projected Elo change with each game.

Think you’re up to the challenge? Think your cohort can win? Come represent them.

For the Chess cohort, we’re curios to see how deep positional calculation and pattern recognition translates to learning an abstract card game with simple abstract rules that leads to deep tactical and strategic gameplay.
