About this lesson

Game theory can be confusing, so this video breaks it down step by step using a payoff matrix. You’ll learn how two players make strategic decisions, why outcomes depend on both players, and how to analyze choices in game theory. This video explains how to read a payoff matrix, identify dominant strategies, and find the Nash equilibrium. We work through multiple examples, including situations where both players have a dominant strategy, only one player does, or neither player does. If this video helps, leave a comment.
