Combinatorial Game Theory Colloquium V (Lisbon, January 31- February 02, 2025)

Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the study of sequential games with perfect information. These games encompass well-known rulesets such as Amazons, Clobber, Domineering, Hackenbush, Konane, Nim, Octal Games, Wythoff’s Nim. Following John Conway's seminal work, On Numbers and Games (1976), Elwyn Berlekamp, John Conway, and Richard Guy authored  “the book” Winning Ways (1982) , which presents a unified mathematical theory to analyze a wide range of combinatorial rulesets. Additionally, Lessons in Play (2007), by Michael Albert, David Wolfe, and Richard Nowakowski, and Combinatorial Game Theory (2013), by Aaron Siegel are essential readings on the subject.
