An Exercise in Rational Cooperation and Communication: Let's Play Hanabi
ahong4y10

I find Hanabi to be a simple way to challenge my bias that other individuals will arrive at a similar conclusion as I, even with imperfect information. The simplicity of the scoring mechanism provides discrete, actionable information that can provide a narrative that, yes, I can improve the quality and consistency of my interpersonal communication.

For me, Hanabi is a meditative process of self-reflection. To read that Goofus not only can compartmentalize two pages of negative feedback but also can stay strict to the "correct informal conventions" is eye-opening. It sounds like an unpleasant process for both Goofus and the teammates. Given the fact that there are many other games/exercises that offer a higher reliability for engines, perhaps Goofus is looking in Hanabi for that one partner that can understand him 100%, without his needing to evaluate his communication process.

How can one be a Gallant?
