Game Difficulty

Some abstract games are too easy for repeated plays by adults - e.g. Noughts and Crosses.  Others are too hard for a newcomer to play well - e.g. Go.  How can we measure the difficulty of a game?

Here is a file with some thoughts: Measuring the Difficulty of Games.pdf.

I also have a partially written article on Skill Levels in Games in the pipeline as well as an attemp to explain some of the ideas in Complexity Theory.  Coming soon . . .
