The International Journal of Game Theory (IJGT) invites submissions of significant papers in Combinatorial Game Theory.
Combinatorial games are traditionally two-player perfect-information games with compact rules such as Nim or Chess, with more general games now being studied. Their theory was pioneered by Elwyn R. Berlekamp, John H. Conway and Richard K. Guy in "Winning Ways", 1982, republished in 2009 by A. K. Peters.
Due date for submissions: This Collection is meant to be ongoing, i.e. papers can be submitted as long as the Collection is shown as open for submissions on its website.
Papers should be submitted via the electronic submission platform Editorial Manager. Please find Submission Guidelines and the “Submit manuscript” button on the journal website here.
All articles will be reviewed to the high standards of IJGT (one-sided blind peer review). Accepted papers are published online first and already findable as part of this Collection on the website of the journal. At the appropriate time, they will be published online and in print as special issues of the journal.
A first special issue on Combinatorial Games appeared as issue 2 in volume 47 of IJGT in 2018.
