Ludii is a General Game System for playing, analyzing, and designing board games through its Game Description Language. This language is based on over 700 ludemes, which are high-level constructs representing boards, pieces, and rules. While ludemes provide a comprehensive vocabulary for describing games, they also pose a steep learning curve, particularly for Ludii’s many non-technical users such as historians interested in traditional and ancient games. The absence of a dedicated testing framework further increases the difficulty of encoding new games, as validation currently relies only on limited syntax checks or game trials, which provide few guarantees of correctness and robustness.
