RLCard: A Toolkit for Reinforcement Learning in Card Games

RLCard is a toolkit for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in card games. It supports multiple card environments with easy-to-use interfaces. The goal of RLCard is to bridge reinforcement learning and imperfect information games, and push forward the research of reinforcement learning in domains with multiple agents, large state and action space, and sparse reward. RLCard is developed by DATA Lab at Texas A&M University.

Installation

Make sure that you have Python 3.5+ and pip installed. We recommend installing rlcard with pip as follow:

git clone https://github.com/datamllab/rlcard.git
cd rlcard
pip install -e .

Or you can directly install the package with

pip install rlcard

Examples

Please refer to examples/. A short example is as below.

import rlcard
from rlcard.agents.random_agent import RandomAgent

env = rlcard.make('blackjack')
env.set_agents([RandomAgent()])

trajectories, payoffs = env.run()

We also recommend the following toy examples.

• Playing with random agents
• Deep-Q learning on Blackjack
• Running multiple processes
• Having fun with pretrained Leduc model
• Leduc Hold'em as single-agent environment
• Training CFR on Leduc Hold'em

Demo

Run examples/leduc_holdem_human.py to play with the pre-trained Leduc Hold'em model:

>> Leduc Hold'em pre-trained model

>> Start a new game!
>> Agent 1 chooses raise

Available Environments

We provide a complexity estimation for the games on several aspects. InfoSet Number: the number of information sets; Avg. InfoSet Size: the average number of states in a single information set; Action Size: the size of the action space. Name: the name that should be passed to env.make to create the game environment.
