Team Yahoo! Labs has launched Messy Hordes, an online group that leads the enemy's territory by leading the zombie corps. To start the game, each player moves the army alternately. When both troops meet, each player can dispers the zombies into three groups, compare the three different groups to determine the winner. This is the best option of two or three, and winners in each skirmish can spread more zombies and occupy more than territory.
What is interesting is that for economics fans like me, the game design is based on the principle of game theory. This game is 100 %, the correct movement.
fun? Of course, this is not a plant American. It's not a zombie, it's not the other 10 zombies we thought, but this is an interesting entertainment online.
Why is the next natural question? Yahoo's purpose is to throw a game in a sandbox and find what will come. I hope that other Yahoo employees are working on a larger project for online games designed to change the world. In the meantime, we can participate in the theory of the game and lead a horde of zombies.
