Saboteur game modelling using means-ends analysis

Abstract

Saboteur game is a board game that uses cards. The game is done by a number of players divided into two groups, gold-miner group and saboteur group who prevents gold-miners to seek gold. Each player knows his role, but they do not know exactly which ones are their friends. Gold searching process is started from a single point of reference followed by making a path of seven cards horizontally from the reference to the gold card's position. This paper is done to propose a model of this game and applying the role of artificial intelligence so that it can be implemented as a computer program.
