A game of bluffing and intrigue.

View project onGitHub

Coup is a card game by Indie Boards and Cards about bluffing and deception. Players start the game with 2 face down cards representing the influence they have in the government and 2 coins. When they loose all of their influence then they are eliminated from the game.

People can be removed from the game by being couped for 7 coins or being assassinated. The intrigue and bluffing come in with the face down influence cards. Anyone may claim to be any number of different roles including an assassin. If you bluff and are called out, though, then you will loose one of your influence cards instead.

This is a simple project to explore the different aspects of the clojure programming language. There is currently some simple AI and a basic way to use a genetic algorithm to evolve smarter AI. The goals of this project are to expand my knowledge of various AI as well as explore clojure more.
