Queue Bits Game Intro

Introduction to Queue Bits - a game in which Connect 4 meets superposition.
Queue Bits is a game in which Connect 4 meets superposition. Like the classical game, players drop tokens into a board, and the goal is to place 4 in a row or column. In this game, we explore the effect of superposition and the timing of measurement to encourage players to think through how strategy changes based on when measurement occurs. In all three superposition modes, instead of dropping tokens that are red or yellow, they are dropping tokens that may be in superposition - tokens have between a 25% and 100% probability of measuring the desired color. However, the timing of when measurement occurs changes what information you have and the significance of tokens in particular locations. In the first mode, the measurement occurs when the token is placed. In the second mode, measurement does not occur until the board is full, and then measurement occurs in the same order in which they were placed. In the final mode, measurement also does not occur until the board is full, but the players themselves take turns choosing which is the next to be measured.
