Non-zero-sum games. , the gain of one player means the loss of the other. In zero-sum games the players’ interests are therefore in complete conflict. Russell Hardin defines a zero-sum game as a game in which “every change in outcome leaves one player better off and the other worse off or it leaves both at the status quo (Hardin 1988, 32)”. These games are called also ‘strictly competitive games’, ‘games of pure rivalry’ or ‘constant-sum games’. One may argue that the last name seems more apt that than ‘zero-sum games’: the name ‘zero-sum games’ suggests that, for every combination of strategy, the sum of the players’ payoffs is zero, whereas, the sufficient condition for a game to be ‘a game of pure rivalry’ is that this sum is 1.
The theory of stable sets – the NM-solution Von Neumann and Morgenstern argued that for a set of imputations S to constitute a solution to a n-person cooperative game, it should satisfy the following conditions: (a) Internal stability: none of the imputations in S is dominated by any other imputation in S. This condition therefore states that none of the imputations in S is better for all the players than any other imputation in S. (b) External stability: every imputation not belonging to S is dominated by at least one imputation belonging to S.
The matrices contain only payoffs of Player 1; Player 2’ payoffs can be obtained by multiplying 1’s payoffs by -1.

Zero-sum game with one saddle point A zero-sum game has a saddle point if Player 1’s maximin and Player 2’s maximin sum to zero. As can be easily noticed, a saddle point is a result whose value is smaller than or equal to every value in its row and higher than or equal to every value in its column.
