| how would you incorporate inductive reasoning into a trading card game? i know it plays a vital part in deck construction, and somewhat in game play. but i mean as a core part of the game. in battle mechanics, or as a way to play cards, maybe in the card effects themselves? i know this seems an abusred idea. i just want to know if it's possible

| What exactly do you mean with "inductive reasoning"?

| it's hard to explain. it basically takes specific examples and turns them into a general conclusion. like what do these have in common. it's also used by scientists to create hypothisis, and is what is used to when at a certain playing card game called "Mao" and "Eleusis", but that's with traditional cards.
during a trading card game, you can usually use inductive reasoning by saying "ok, they have this card, this card, and that. now they have played these cards, so this is probably there strategy."
during a tcg deck construction, you can use it by saying "ok, i have these cards and these, that will make this happen. but what if they have this or that? hmmm..." and you can use it to ferret out the weak points of your deck.
the dictionary definition
noun
reasoning from detailed facts to general principles [syn:
some examples...
1,2,4,8,_,_ the next to should be 16 then 32
this is an example i found long ago on the net, but don't remember where...
"Isaac Inductive says: I've noticed that every time I kick soccer ball up, it comes back down, so I guess this next time when I kick it up, it will come back down again.
Dennis Deductive says: You are merely applying Newton's law of gravity. Everything that goes up must come down. If you kick the ball up, it must come down."
here is another...i found it on the net, but don't remember where
"Evidence
Make it a habit to ask for evidence. That might mean simply asking "where did you read that?" or "Was that speculation, or did they actually do a test?" Be prepared to provide evidence for your own claims as well. We don't carry our sources with us, of course, but you should be able to get a sense whether there really is some basis for a claim or belief.
Source
Because we don't carry evidence around with us, we all accept many things said at face value, at least for the sake of discussion. Otherwise our conversations would be more like interrogations, and probably very short. However, we can consider the sources of information and evidence. We can ask if this person usually remembers the facts correctly. We can consider if the source they refer to is reliable.
Motivations
What we believe, what others believe, and what evidence is considered by anyone, is in part a function of motivations. Because of this, a magazine might be entirely biased in it's reporting, yet have all of their facts perfectly verified. Of course, you should ask yourself if there is enough of a motivation for outright lying, but this isn't as common as many people think. A more important part of you critical thinking skills is to ask why these certain facts may have been reported (what bias is likely), and what facts are being ignored or passed over."
i hope this wasn't too much information to process |
a crazy idea
