In this chapter we will start by defining the concept of a game, before defining that of Nash equilibrium and evolutionary game theory.To describe a game in general one has to specify: the players, that is who is involved; the rules, that is who moves when, what they know when they move, what they can do; the outcomes, that is for each possible set of actions, what will happen and what the payoffs are.
