I always wanted to see whether "6 nimmt" is a game of luck or strategy.
An AI for that would be interesting to see, and it is much simpler than
a wargame (though I am not familiar with either of the mentioned).
Strictly speaking, it's not a boardgame, but a card game. Still, I like
the thought. And you could implement the "advanced rules", by which you
pick your cards at the beginning and thus know exactly which ones the
opponent has. Though that is not strictly simultaneous. But you could,
for example, only use the cards from 1-24.
For simulataneous movement boardgames, there is RoboRallye, too. And,
like 6 nimmt, it can also take more than 2 players - but that could be
an additional issue for implementation.
Another idea might be auction games with blind bids. No specific
suggestions I could think of right now, though.
Cheers,
Michael
