Action which changes the Game

  • e.g. change in payoff matrix, available strategies

Commitment

  • commitment is one of such moves
    • must be credible
      • clear to understand
      • public
      • irreversible
    • works against rational players only
      • crazy players might still go beyond and trigger your commitment
    • e.g. doomsday machine: a bomb which triggers as soon as the country is attacked with no way to turn it off
