The strange algebra of combinatorial games
Abstract
We present an algebraic framework for the analysis of combinatorial games. This framework embraces the classical theory of partizan games as well as a number of misere games, comply-constrain games, and card games that have been studied more recently. It focuses on the construction of the quotient monoid of a game, an idea that has been successively applied to several classes of games.
