👉 Turn mathematics, or turn-based game theory, is a framework for analyzing strategic interactions where players take turns making decisions. Unlike simultaneous games, where all players act independently at the same time, turn math requires players to consider the sequence of moves and anticipate their opponent's responses. Each player's optimal strategy depends not only on their own choices but also on the anticipated actions of subsequent players, creating a chain of decision-making. This approach helps predict outcomes by evaluating possible sequences of moves, often using concepts like Nash equilibrium, where no player can benefit by changing their strategy unilaterally. Turn math is particularly useful in games like chess, Go, and various card games, where the order of moves significantly impacts the final result.
