Key Concepts

One-shot Game

A one-shot game is a scenario in game theory where the players interact only once, meaning they have no opportunity to adjust their strategies based on previous outcomes or repeated interactions. This forces each player to choose their action with only one chance at influencing the outcome, making the analysis focus on immediate strategic choices without considerations of future consequences.

Nash Equilibrium

A Nash equilibrium occurs when each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of the other players, and no individual can benefit by unilaterally changing their own strategy. In a one-shot game, finding the Nash equilibrium helps predict the outcome by identifying the point where every player’s decision is the best response to the actions of the others.

Dominant Strategy

A dominant strategy is one that gives a player a higher payoff regardless of what the opponent chooses. When a dominant strategy exists in a one-shot game, it simplifies the decision making, as the player will have a clear best move without needing to consider the opponent’s potential actions.
