GOPS
Game of Pure Strategy
Game of Pure Strategy (GOPS) is a two player turn-based game where the objective is to win as many "bounties" by bidding more than your opponent over the course of 13 rounds.
This repository contains the code to run the server for playing games, as well as some example clients that can be used to interact with the server.
After setting up, play 13 rounds as described below. After the 13th round, whichever player has collected the highest value of bounties is the winner.
Both players get a pool of 13 "bids", numbered 2 through 14. There is also a pool of 13 "bounties", also valued 2 through 14.
At the start of each round, randomly reveal a bounty from the pool. Each player secretly picks a bid from their remaining pool of available bids. Once both players have chosen, the player that bid the higher amount takes the bounty.
If there was a tie, the bounty is set aside and the next round is played. The winner of the second round takes both the bounty for that round as well the bounties for all the tied rounds leading up to that round.
If the game ends with a tie round, nobody wins the tie bounty.
At the end of all 13 rounds, each player sums the value of their won bounties. The player with the highest score wins!
The server is a FastAPI python server that uses websockets to manage games.
For more info, refer to the README in gops-engine.
While there is a dev UI that can be used to play games, it is highly
recommended to write one's own client that can interact with the server and play
games. Example clients are provided in the gops-clients directory.
