| contents | This work investigates the role of uncertainty in Slay the Spire using an information-theoretic framework. Focusing on the entropy of game paths (which are based on procedurally-generated maps) we analyze how randomness influences player decision-making and success. By examining a dataset of 20,000 game runs, we quantify the entropy of paths taken by players and relate it with their outcomes and skill levels. The results show that victorious runs are associated with higher normalized entropy, suggesting more risk-taking. Additionally, higher-skill players tend to exhibit distinct patterns of risk-taking behavior in later game stages. |
