The researchers employed game refinement, the motion-in-mind model, and AI simulations to assess the impact of sudden movements in card games with incomplete information. A jerk is a measurement of a sudden acceleration change and is commonly used in fields such as engineering, sports science, ma

Card games are a popular form of entertainment that have been enjoyed for centuries. They come in a variety of styles, from classic games like Poker and Blackjack to modern games like Hearthstone and Magic the Gathering.

A new perspective, the motion-in-mind model, measures the uncertainty of progress in a game relative to two physical measures—velocity, which represents the win rate, and mass, which represents how hard it is to win. These physical values can be translated into psychological reactions. A jerk—denoted as AD, an abbreviation for addictive—can thus be interpreted as unpredictability or surprise. Games with a higher AD value are highly unpredictable and full of surprises, making them addictive.

The researchers first explored the rules, designs, and complexities of these games, using game refinement and the motion-in-mind model. Next, they performed two simulations with self-playing artificial intelligence agents. In the first experiment, the AI mimicked a fixed game played by contestants with different skill levels . In contrast, the second experiment comprised games of various sophistications played by a fixed AI level.
