What are the different Bot types? - tsloper_admin - 02-20-2025

The different Bots are:
 
  • Beginner:  Does not consider multiple hand options; eager to make exposures; moves seem random.
  • Advanced:  Tries to play as well as possible.
  • Cagey:  Prefers not to expose jokers.
  • HighScorer:  Prefers to make hands worth more than 25 points.
  • Open: Avoids Concealed hands.
  • Gardener:  Prefers to make hands with flowers; is more reluctant to discard flowers.
  • Defensive: Pays close attention to others' exposures so as not to throw a win.
 
As you might expect, the Beginner is the weakest player, and Advanced is the strongest.
The bot types are selected by the game's host when setting up the game. 

The bots take on human names according to their bot type:
  • Beginner: Betty, Bianca, Barbara
  • Advanced: Alice, Angie, Andy
  • Cagey: Cindy, Charlie, Claire
  • High Scorer: Hal, Harriet, Helen
  • Open: Opal, Olivia, Octavia
  • Gardener: Gary, Grace, Gloria
  • Defensive: Denise, Debby, Daisy
