What the fox say?
Summary
An exploratory article analyzing Starve the Fox, a Nordic board game, through AI-driven self-play and Monte Carlo tree search. It documents implementing a Python/OpenSpiel-based solver, training a regression-based heuristic to evaluate positions, and comparing fox vs. sheep win rates, including insights into board-value and puzzle-generation potential. The piece blends game theory, AI methodology, and developer notes on code quality and future work.
