Magi: Mind Game

Magi: Mind Game turns fighting-game mind games into a turn-based strategy game. You predict and manipulate your opponent’s choices, weighing options with different risks and rewards. The game uses five spells to create these decisions without requiring you to memorize combos or build muscle memory.

Risk and reward

Choices can vary in safety and payoff: a safer move may offer a smaller reward, while a riskier one can pay off more. The current state of a match also changes the risks and rewards of each move, creating new situations as play unfolds.

Opponents and matchmaking

Deep-learning neural networks train AI opponents on games played by real players, teaching them to play like those players. These AIs enter the ranking system and earn their rankings, with the aim of matching their skill to yours. As more people play, more AIs can be created to support matchmaking at different levels of player activity.
