In game theory a move by nature is a decision or move in an extensive form game made by a player who has no strategic interests in the outcome.

Description

The effect is to add a player, 'Nature', whose practical role is to act as a random number generator.

For instance, a game of Poker requires a dealer to choose which cards a player is dealt, the dealer plays the role of the Nature player.

Moves by nature are an integral part of games of incomplete information.
