# boardgame-research [](http://makeapullrequest.com)
|
||
|
||
This is a list of boardgame research. They are primarily related to "solving/playing/learning" games (by various different approaches), or
|
||
occasionaly about designing or meta-aspects of the game. This doesn't cover all aspects of each game (notably missing social-science stuff), but
|
||
should be of interest to anyone interested in boardgames and their optimal play. While there is a ton of easily accessible research on games like
|
||
Chess and Go, finding prior work on more contemporary games can be a bit hard. This list focuses on the latter. If you are interested in well-researched
|
||
games like Chess, Go, Hex, take a look at the [Chess programming wiki](https://www.chessprogramming.org/Games) instead. The list also covers some computer-games that fall under similar themes.
