Competitive gaming provides a systematic way to understand the behavior of players in situations where their fortunes are interdependent, when each of them attempts to anticipate and influence the likely actions and reactions of his rivals.
The approach consists in mapping the possible choices of each player, determining payoffs from their own perspective and bringing to the surface the underlying dynamics of the game.
Competitive gaming allows decision makers to clarify the decision context, define a sequence of optimal moves, anticipate potential actions and alter the game in a more favorable way.
