An '''extensive-form game''' is a specification of a game in [[game theory]].

== Description ==

Extensive-form games allow explicit representations of a number of important aspects, including:

* The sequencing of players' possible moves
* Their choices at every decision point
* The (possibly imperfect) information each player has about the other player's moves when he makes a decision
* His payoffs for all possible game outcomes.

Extensive-form games also allow representation of [[incomplete information]] in the form of chance events encoded as "[[moves by nature]]".
