摘要

How can computers create interesting games? What makes a game interesting and how can a machine decide if a game is of interest to humans? These are among the questions I asked myself when I was asked to review Cameron Brown's book Evolutionary game design. Fortunately, after reading it I had some answers. It begins by the introduction of "Yavalath", the first commercially released board game that was entirely designed by a machine. After reading this short introduction, I was glued to the book by the desire to understand the central thesis: how can humans design machines that design games for humans? It lead me through the different design steps, as if I was reading a story; the story of the genesis of Yavalath.
