Game theory

Game theory is like a type of math that helps us understand how different people or computer players should behave in a game or situation where there is a winning or losing outcome. In game theory, players are trying to figure out the best move they can make in a situation to get the best result. So they look at their options and the options of the other players to make the best choice. It helps them choose the best strategy in different types of games!
