The resources listed on the Resources page are not random links. They were chosen to support the core themes of the Habib Punja game: strategy, critical thinking, habit formation, and decision-making under uncertainty.

1. Relevance to Strategic Thinking

Every recommended source must help you think more clearly about decisions—whether in games, work, or life. We avoid content that is purely inspirational without offering any real tools or frameworks.

2. Practical, Not Just Theoretical

We favor resources that give you usable frameworks: mental models, habit loops, probabilistic thinking, and techniques you can apply while playing a 7-hand war or when making real-world decisions.

3. Accessible & Public

All resources are publicly accessible (articles, talks, summaries, or widely-available books). We avoid paywalled, niche, or obscure materials that would make learning harder instead of easier.

4. Alignment with the Game’s Philosophy

The Habib Punja game emphasizes:

• reducing catastrophic losses instead of chasing one perfect win,
• thinking across multiple hands—not just the current turn,
• balancing bold moves with structural safety.

Recommended sources reinforce those themes rather than contradict them.

5. Respect for Human Agency

We deliberately avoid manipulative “hacks” or content that encourages exploiting others. Strategy and intelligence should be used to elevate thinking, not to dominate or diminish other people.

6. Update Over Time

As the game evolves and new phases develop, the resource list and these criteria may be refined. If a source stops being helpful—or better, clearer explanations appear—we will update what we recommend.

If you discover a resource that you think belongs on the list, you’re welcome to share it via the Contact page. MuBot will review it for alignment and usefulness.
