The Prussians started to apply gaming situations to military training during the 1800s. The games consisted of detailed maps and different colored blocks to represent troops. After the games, the players' decisions on troop placement and appropriate armaments were discussed and critiqued.
Game theory is mathematical method of decision-making in which a competitive situation is analyzed to determine the optimal course of action for an interested party, often used in political, economic, and military planning.
