Game Theory in HBOs Succession: Thinking Sequentially is Important
Kendall Begins with the End in Mind
Most game theory courses start by an analysis of simultaneous games, where strategic choices by players are made at the same time. But naturally, many games have sequences of events. These are more complicated, but often more interesting, and are examined in great detail in game theory.
I’ve already published posts on sequential games which you can find here and here. This post shares a video that has clips from HBO’s Succession where the players think sequentially through their actions. I hope you find it entertaining and insightful!
