Game Theory Guide

 , updated on
Game theory is the study of competitive strategy using games as models. It is a well developed discipline that has applications in areas such as business, politics and economics. Game theory is often based on highly constrained situations with clear rules and agents who act logically. As such, it doesn't always apply to real world situations where rules, behavior, risk and opportunity tend to be dynamic and ambiguous. Nevertheless, game theory offers some useful models that can be applied to real world problems and decisions. The following are examples of game theory models, tools and strategies.
Camping Strategy
Catch 22
Communication Complexity
Cut And Run
Do Nothing Strategy
Kobayashi Maru
Logic
Ludic Fallacy
Maximax Criterion
Minimax Criterion
Negative-Sum Game
