“…For example, in the domain of sports, soccer and basketball [1], volleyball [2], table tennis and badminton [3], baseball [4] and boxing [5] have their own unique histories of the rules change to be more sophisticated. In the domain of mind sports, chess [6], Mah Jong [7] and shogi [8] have also a similar way. These reports indicate that the rules of sports and mind sports have been changed to be more sophisticated, but at the comfortable level.…”

DotA is one of the most attractive and influential MOBA games, which has been popular in many countries for over 10 years. It was designed for fun at first, however, after the emerge of DOTA2 it soon became the highest prize e-sports game. This paper analyzes the evolutionary changes of the DOTA2. The game refinement measure is employed for the assessment of game sophistication of DOTA2 series. The analyzing results show that the rules of DOTA2 have regularly been changed in its history to maintain an appropriate range of game refinement. We clearly see two directions during the evolutionary changes which are the skillfulness and popularity. Thus, the analysis makes it possible to overview these evolutionary changes of DOTA2 and find some drawbacks to be improved.

Abstract. This paper explores a novel way to evaluate the benefit of gamified strategy in business domain with a focus on hotel loyalty program that is a key strategy in attracting business to its properties. It presents a data-driven approach for discovering the patterns of different hotel loyalty programs using analytic hierarchy process, whereas a measure of game refinement is employed to quantify the game sophistication level of each gamified strategy. The results show interesting observations on the game sophistication of hotel reward in a specific area. Meanwhile, it is found that the selected comparison items of these hotel rewards and the number of the customers are highly related.

“…However, a measure of game refinement can be employed to assess the degree of game sophistication. From the early studies using game refinement measure it is supposed that the history of chess variants may be divided into the three stages: the origin with moderate complexity and refinement, many diverging variants with high complexity and low refinement, and the modern sophisticated chess with low complexity and high refinement (Cincotti, H. Iida, & Yoshimura, 2007) (Iida, Takeshita, & Yoshimura, A metric for entertainment of boardgames: its implication for evolution of chess variants, 2003).…”

In this research, the concept of Game Refinement Theory is applied to quantify the entertainment value of the game of TIGERS AND GOATS. This paper explores the game to get some compelling estimates of Game Refinement (GR) value of the game at various stages. The comparison of value is done for the two popular variants of the game. Also, we have compared the value with respect to the difficulty level of the game and the winning scenario. The results indicate that the game becomes more of a serious game with the increasing difficulty. The paper focuses on one main question -Why did we lose one of the game variants while the other one is still well sought-after and if there is any history behind this? After doing some research, we found that the game variant AADU PULI ATTAM which has lost its popularity has much lower game refinement value than the popular variant (BAGH CHAL). With this, we also present the hypothesis on their timeline that BAGH CHAL is an evolved version of AADU PULI ATTAM.
