Abstract
Theory of mind involves the cognitive ability to attribute mental states, such as beliefs, intentions or desires, to oneself and others, acknowledging the potential variations among individuals. This study explores the influence of game structure on the effectiveness of higher-order theory of mind reasoning within a simplified version of Pecking Order, a competitive card game developed by Richard Garfield. The investigation focuses on two distinct game variations, sequential and simultaneous, which shape the overall game structure through differences in information availability, turn order, and round numbers. Agents with Zero-Order and First-Order theory of mind capabilities are introduced to assess the effectiveness of theory of mind reasoning across these variations. Employing simulation theory of mind, these agents consider opponents' mental states and predict their behavior by simulating actions based on their opponents' positions in the game. By analyzing the impact of game structure on the effectiveness of higher order theory of mind reasoning, this research provides valuable insights into how game structure influences the effectiveness of theory of mind reasoning in the context of strategic decision-making games.
