### MCTS for non-deterministic games with very high branching factor for chance nodes

You can try using an "Open-Loop" MCTS approach, instead of the standard "closed-loop" one, and eliminate chance nodes altogether. See, for example, Open Loop Search for General Video Game Playing. In ...

### How exactly is Monte Carlo counterfactual regret minimization with external sampling implemented?

External sampling and outcome sampling are two ways of defining the sets $Q_1, \dots, Q_n$. I think your mistake is that you think of the $Q_i$ as fixed and taken as input in these shampling schemes. ...

### What is the state-space complexity of Spades?

I have calculated an upper bound and modified a calculation of a lower bound for a similar game. I assume the real size is closer to the upper bound.  7.36 \cdot 10^{27} \leq |SPADES| \leq 3.09 \...

### What would be the most effective self-learning algorithm for a 7 player social deduction game?

It is very likely that you want an algorithm like Counterfactual Minimax Regret. This algorithm has several variants, but they differ mostly in their efficiency. CFR is the algorithm that was used to ...
