We present Pommerman, a multi-agent environment based on the classic console game Bomberman.

Pommerman consists of a set of scenarios, each having at least 4 players and containing both cooperative and competitive aspects. We believe that success in Pommerman will require a diverse set of tools and methods, including planning, opponent/teammate modeling, game theory, and communication, and consequently can serve well as a multi-agent benchmark.

To date, we have already hosted one competition, and our next one will be featured in the NIPS 2018 competition track.
