The subject first addressed zero-sum games, such that one person's gains exactly equal net losses of the other participant or participants.
Today, however, game theory applies to a wide range of behavioral relations, and has developed into an umbrella term for the logical side of decision science, including both humans and non-humans (e.g. computers, animals).
