Abstract

This paper does not deal with the applications of game theory for which this theory was first developed, that is, for modelling economic systems and rational decision making. But I do not want to consider games as abstract mathematical structures, either. I want to concentrate on what it is that makes a game actually playable. This playability means both the possibility of finding and formulating the strategy that a player uses and the feasibility of actually applying the strategy in question in making one's moves.
