The aim of the article was to analyze selected methods of creating artificial intelligence in a popular card game. Two experiments were conducted: with a human and with a computer. The following algorithms were analyzed: random, min-max, based on a neural network, statistical and statistical with the use of "cheating" technique. The examined parameters were as follows: efficiency, execution time, number of implementation code lines, implementation time and training duration. The indicator with the greatest impact on the selection of the most optimal method was efficiency. The research has shown no difference in efficiency for the neural network-based algorithm and the statistical algorithm. In other cases, the differences in this feature were significant. The use of the "cheating" technique has increased the efficiency.
