Virgins Overview

In Virgins you play the Lord of two villages with a Dragon living near by!

The local Dragon has agreed not to burn down your villages if you provide the sacrificial Virgin or two. You play the Lord of two villages, and as Lord you choose which villagers stay and which villagers travel.

So send any Strapping Youths, the Bad Boy, and that on-so-romantic Musician off to another player's village! And don't forget to keep the Sheriff in a friendly village to keep the peace and if you can, make sure the Bartender only gets the Blacksmith drunk!

So, for the good of your villages you've got to keep your Virgins – uh, virgins. Because if at the end of a round there are no virgins to sacrifice the dragon does what dragons do best! burning villages and gobbling everyone up – even you!

Being Asian, there are people who played it (Baduk), but I didn't pay attention and my father and I played chess.

In my last year of college, I got back into playing Chess online (Internet Chess Server) and taking an advanced theoretical physics class. My TA/grader hung out in the same computer workstation lab playing Go when I played Chess. One time, we were chatting and I mentioned that computers were on the verge of beating the best humans at Chess (it was 1993, so this 4 years before Deep Blue beat Kasparov), he mentioned that I should pick up Go as even the best Go programs would lose to an average professional player even with a large handicap.

I said, "I guess it's because less time has been spent developing the algorithm."

"No," he said. "It's more algorithmically complex by a lot!"

…

I had some free time 7 years later, so I and a friend (another physicist working in Silicon Valley) wanted to get into statistical programming (I guess that would be called AI now). We decided to learn Go in order to write a program (we never did).
