Description: Brilliant sunshine bakes a huddled row of ramshackle, weather-beaten buildings lining a dusty thoroughfare. Two gunfighters slam out of a decrepit saloon and stalk toward their posts at either end of the street. Facing each other, they prepare to draw their six-shooters. Abruptly, a third gunfighter steps out. The duel has turned into a truel: the good versus the bad versus the ugly. Who shoots at whom? Game theory typically deals with the consequences of players' actions, given the rules of the game.
