Is your work publicly available? If you are interested, I've tweeted my notes on 'Guess Who' game: [https://twitter.com/arman_boyaci/status/1463139888489025537?...]

I don't have much yet, but I'll send you a link when I do.

The reason Gambit is required is that you pick characters by drawing from a deck. So you both know you can't have the same person. But if you let this knowledge affect your guesses then you leak information. So there's potentially some amount of bluff required.

Super interesting. Do you know how much advantage a player using this information gets against a 'naive' player non-using it?
