Pyminion is a library for executing and analyzing games of Dominion. At its core, pyminion implements the rules and logic of Dominion and provides an API to interact with the game engine. In addition, it enables interactive games through the command line and simulation of games between bots.

Installation

Pyminion requires at least Python 3.8 and can easily be installed through pypi

python3 -m pip install pyminion

Usage

Setting up a game

To play an interactive game through the command line against a bot, initialize a human and a bot and assign them as players. Alternatively, games can be created between multiple humans or multiple bots.

from pyminion.expansions.base import base_set
from pyminion.expansions.intrigue import intrigue_set
from pyminion.game import Game
from pyminion.bots.examples import BigMoney
from pyminion.human import Human

# Initialize human and bot
human = Human()
bot = BigMoney()

# Setup the game
game = Game(players=[human, bot], expansions=[base_set, intrigue_set])

# Play game
game.play()

Creating Bots

Defining new bots is relatively straightforward. Inherit from the BotDecider class and implement play and buy strategies in the action_priority and buy_priority methods respectively.

For example, here is a simple big money + smithy bot:

from pyminion.bots.bot import Bot, BotDecider
from pyminion.expansions.base import gold, province, silver, smithy
from pyminion.player import Player
from pyminion.game import Game

class BigMoneySmithyDecider(BotDecider):
    """
    Big money + smithy

    """

    def action_priority(self, player: Player, game: Game):
        yield smithy

    def buy_priority(self, player: Player, game: Game):
        money = player.state.money
        if money >= 8:
            yield province
        if money >= 6:
            yield gold
        if money == 4:
            yield smithy
        if money >= 3:
            yield silver

class BigMoneySmithy(Bot):
    def __init__(
        self,
        player_id: str = "big_money_smithy",
    ):
        super().__init__(decider=BigMoneySmithyDecider(), player_id=player_id)

Running Simulations

Simulating multiple games is good metric for determining bot performance. To create a simulation, pass a pyminion game instance into the Simulator class and set the number of iterations to be run.

from pyminion.bots.examples import BigMoney, BigMoneySmithy
from pyminion.expansions.base import base_set, smithy
from pyminion.game import Game
from pyminion.simulator import Simulator

bm = BigMoney()
bm_smithy = BigMoneySmithy()

game = Game(players=[bm, bm_smithy], expansions=[base_set], kingdom_cards=[smithy], log_stdout=False)
sim = Simulator(game, iterations=1000)
result = sim.run()
print(result)

with the following terminal output:

~$ python simulation.py
Simulation Result: ran 1000 games
big_money won 110, lost 676, tied 214
big_money_smithy won 676, lost 110, tied 214

Please see /examples to see demo scripts.
