In this second post in a series exploring games of strategy (begun last month), designers Aaron Honsowetz, Austin Smokowicz, and I explore strategic games involving sequential moves, i.e. those in which each player's decision happens in the context of knowing opponents' previous decisions. This exploration has its foundation in Chapter 3 of Dixit, Skeath, and Reiley's Games of Strategy.
Ridere, ludere, hoc est vivere.

Notes on Games of Strategy
Over three years ago, I wrote about my effort to approach a simple three-player race game using game theory. Economist and game designer Dr. Aaron Honsowetz responded, which led to his recommendation that I look up the book Games of Strategy by Avinash Dixit, Susan Skeath, and David Reiley. I finally obtained the third edition recently, and that has led Aaron, fellow designer Austin Smokowicz, and me to explore Dixit Skeath and Reiley's text in a kind of virtual book club.
