The 1st episode in the Game Theory playlist on the Prisoners Dilemma:    • Game Theory  

In this video we introduce our first major category of game that we will study in Game Theory called Normal Form Games. These are games between a finite number of players, with each player having a finite number of options, and then a defined payoff for every possible set of chosen actions. The Prisoners Dilemma we saw previously is an example of a normal form game, as is good old Rock-Paper-Scissors. We will also see two more examples, one I call Hawk vs Dove, and one I call Sushi vs Thai. Each game can be represented by a payoff matrix. In the next episode we will discuss more about how to find optimal strategies to play Normal Form games, and if optimal strategies even exist!
