Game Theory: An Application of Probability.
Rector, Robert E.
Mathematics Teacher, v80 n2 p138-42 Feb 1987

Matrices provide a model for analyzing certain situations involving conflict, and probability theory can be used to determine the best strategies for the players. Variations on the ancient game of morra are discussed. (MNS)
