Game Playing, Really

The bag of tools brought to the table for work here needs to be the ability to think critically, the decision-makers need to pursue well-defined exogenous objectives (they are rational) and take into account their knowledge or expectations of other decision-makers' behavior (they reason strategically).
An agent is rational if and only if they choose the action which yields the highest benefit for them.
An agent is strategic if and only if they account for the other agents in their decision. On the contrary, an agent is naive if and only if they only care about their own actions.
