Tabletop Games & AI
The Game Intelligence is a Cambridge-based game publisher and research company dedicated to the scientific study of ancient board games, as well as the development of new, original board and card games based on entirely unique ideas. One of our main projects is the development of AI that can understand ancient board games in greater detail (DeepTGi). Our most significant scientific research has focused on the Game of 20 (The Shahr-i Sokhta Board Game), which not only reconstructed the game and introduced scholarly rulesets for the first time in half a century, but also reshaped the history of board games. The Game of 20 also runs workshops and tournaments. Recent studies suggest that the ancestors of backgammon and chess originated from this variant, marking it as our most important contribution to the history of board games.

THE GAME OF 20
Our recent studies of the game of 20 have reshaped the history of board games. For about half a century, this game (Shahr-i Sokhta Board Game) was unknown to researchers. The game was successfully analysed scientifically, and ancient rules were introduced that might represent how the game was played at that time. The game is almost 5,000 years old, making it the oldest complete board game ever discovered in the world.

DeepTGi
For the first time in the study of ancient board games, our DeepTGi application uses a machine learning model to uniquely identify, analyse, and simulate ancient rules. The model is trained with unique and rare data that can easily identify any fraction accurately and also uses complex iconography for game pieces, enabling further analysis of the objects. It also becomes your companion. The application is simple to use, with the main and only focus being ancient board games, and the results are straightforward and to the point.
