Abstract: In this introductory text, we explain the key concepts and strategies of game theory, alongside the well-known "games" in which these principles are put to the test. Instead of overwhelming the reader with complex equations and jargon, we unravel the fascinating world of game theory through engaging and entertaining narratives, presenting the fundamentals of the field in an accessible style. Perfect for students beginning their journeys in economic theory and general readers alike, this book will foster an understanding of the hidden strategies at play in all kinds of human interaction.
