Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics that is used in the activities of who make decisions and that is conscious of that such actions affect each other.

The theory game has many categories that determine which special methods can be used to solve. The common categories include.

Cooperatives or Non-Cooperatives: The players in the cooperatives must comply with commitments set, an example is “The counting game”. While in the non-cooperatives doesn’t happen, because in the non-cooperatives the players cannot make prior arrangements, an example is “The Prisoner’s Dilemma”.

Symmetric and Asymmetric: A symmetric game is where the payoffs for playing a particular strategy depend only on the other strategies employed, not on who is playing them and the most commonly studied. An asymmetric game is where there aren’t identical strategy sets for both players.

Other types of games are: Zero-Sum and Non-Zero-Sum, simultaneous and sequential, perfect information and imperfect information, metagames, and more.

Finally, is necessary to understand that not all games are necessarily recreational. For example, the game “The Prisoner’s Dilemma” nobody is having fun, this game is a very common model of conflict in society that has been deeply studied by theory game, wherever that you observe individuals in a conflict that hurts all, must first think in “The Prisoner’s Dilemma”.
