ABSTRACT
‘It is as if someone were to say: “A game consists in moving objects about on a surface according to certain rules …” - and we replied: You seem to be thinking of board games, but there are others.’ Wittgenstein’s reproach [29] could as well be levelled at the game-theorist as at this simpleton who thinks that all games are something like Snakes and Ladders. For the game-theorist, too, recognises only a special kind of game.
