comment Which popular games are the most mathematical?
One way to measure the complexity of a game is by declaring that Person 1 is someone who knows only the rules of the game, and that Person n+1 is someone who will beat Person n 90% of the time; then, the complexity is the maximal such chain. I've heard (though I can't remember where) that chess is 5 and go is 9. I'd imagine that this measure of complexity is correlated with how well we can program computers to play the game, although (presumably interestingly, from a psych point of view) there are probably cases where this doesn't match up perfectly.
