It could be merged with Theoretical Computer Science. – Alexey Kalmykov Sep 20 '10 at 10:44

Game theory finds it's application in lot's of other fields like: supply chain management, robotics, etc... having a seperate topic makes sence to me. – Cohen Aug 26 '11 at 18:13

Isn't this too broad? +1 off-topic. – becko Aug 24 '11 at 0:49

An example of this behavior is locking your steering-wheel in place during a game of chicken (and telling your opponent you did so). I feel this question is on topic for game theory but might be hard to ask on other stacks. – logicbird Apr 24 '11 at 0:20

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

Is it all formal, or are practical simple heuristic algorithms on topic too? – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Jun 29 '10 at 19:31

This question is about the board game (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) whether the proposal is about game theory -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory . – Noam Jun 30 '10 at 7:11

Isn't Ticket to Ride a good topic for game theory research? It has clear rules, discrete set of states, imperfect information about the deck of cards and is played sequentially. Good enough for my research. I believe that my question is off-topic because it is more AI-oriented and algorithmic than game-theoretic. It is not off-topic just because it is about a game that hasn't been studied extensively by game theoreticians. – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Jun 30 '10 at 7:46

off topic. I suppose this belongs to Computer Science.SE, right? – becko Aug 24 '11 at 0:48

	I think this is far too broad to be a good question on SE. – TZHX Feb 28 '11 at 10:59
	I agree with @TZHX that it is broad. But I'm a little biased here as I'm very interested in applications of game theory to social networks... so I voted On-Topic :) – becko Aug 24 '11 at 0:47
	@becko: I'm not saying it's not interesting - but it's more suitable for the subject of a book than a question on a Q&A website. :) – TZHX Aug 27 '11 at 17:23

	This is not a question about Game Theory. – becko Aug 23 '11 at 16:22
	Hence, it's a great off-topic example! :-) – Peter K. Aug 23 '11 at 20:43
	@Peter K.: and I voted it as such. :) – becko Aug 24 '11 at 0:45

	Just to clarify, the idea here is to teach key concepts of GT at early stages of education. The purpose is being able to increase children's preparation for better handling of life problems. – albert green Sep 29 '10 at 23:54
	@albert: This would be a great question for the Computer Science Education stack (still in proposal state.) – oosterwal Feb 10 '11 at 21:56
