Discover the underlying principles guiding successful gameplay and gain insights into the rationale behind their effectiveness. In this circle, we will explore the how and the why different strategies work for playing games. We will think about how to predict how others will play, and how to shift our own strategies accordingly. Through both collaborative and competitive games, we will use logic and game theory to uncover the optimal way to engage in games. This circle will revisit concepts from When Game Theory Meets Graph Theory but can be taken without it.
