N-person game theory analyzes contests in which there are more than two sets of conflicting interests, from a hand of poker to wide-scale warfare. In this sequel to Two-Person Game Theory, the author introduces the necessary mathematical notation (mainly set theory), presents basic concepts, discusses a variety of models, and provides applications to social situations. 1970 edition.Editorials

Introduces a framework for analyzing contests in which there are more than two players or sets of conflicting interests, for readers with little mathematical background. Part I presents basic concepts and models, including levels of game-theoretic analysis, individual and group rationality, and the kernel. Part II delves into the theory's social applications, including small markets, simple games and legislatures, and coalitions and power. Of interest to economists, political scientists, and general readers interested in mathematics. This is an unabridged republication of a work published in 1970 by The University of Michigan press.
