Abstract

A game is called a game with incomplete information (I-game) if the players do not know exactly the game itself let it be given either in extensive or in normal form. They may not know completely the strategy sets and/or the pay-off functions, the rules of the game etc. I-games are not to be mistaken with games of imperfect information where the players may not remember their own and/or the other players’ (including “chance”) previous moves.
