Paper One
The strategy guide you write for Paper One should be based on one of the Icehouse games appearing on the Icehouse Wiki.
Each student must pick a different game - first come first served - so claim your game in the comments below! Do not pick a game we played in lab.
To develop your strategy guide, first become familiar with the game - so get together with a small group of students and some pieces and try actually playing the game (they can play yours and you can play theirs.) Do this *outside* of class!
The "math content" need not be complete for the entire game - but support at least one strategy recommendation you make with some probability analysis similar to what I've done in the Card and Dice lectures (recall the slides below.)

without a random element the analysis of these games will look quite different - cracked ice, for example looks like it will involve a discussion of physical forces in balance on a plane (the cd). exciting!

Hi Dr.Kapolka, I got together with some friends to play my game this weekend, and although it is very fun it seems to have very little strategy involved. So, I was wondering if it would be ok if I switched my game to Crosswalk? Thank you-Courtney Leighton
