Augmenting the Cowry Board Game Experience with an AI Player

By Pouyan Davoudian

The game of Cowry has been played for centuries in many parts of Africa and the Caribbean. It is a two-player game where players roll cowry shells to move pieces around a board. While the game has been enjoyed for generations, some players may find it difficult to find an opponent or wish to challenge themselves by playing against an AI opponent.

Augmenting the Cowry board game experience with an AI player can provide a solution to these challenges. An AI player can provide an engaging and challenging opponent for players to compete against, while also offering a chance to learn new strategies and improve gameplay.

The AI player can be designed with varying levels of difficulty to cater to both novice and experienced players. With machine learning algorithms, the AI can adapt to the player's style of play and adjust its strategy accordingly. This can offer players a unique and challenging experience each time they play the game.

In addition to providing a new challenge for players, adding an AI player to the game of Cowry can also preserve the game's cultural heritage by introducing it to new generations of players. By combining tradition with modern technology, the game can continue to be enjoyed for many more generations to come.
