Game theory is the study of strategic decision-making; how people make choices when the best move depends not only on what you do, but on what everyone else might do too. In this session, you'll apply its principles to scenarios involving problems in work, family and social strategy.

Every day, we play games without realising it. Who compromises first in an argument? How do you convince a colleague to cooperate when your interests aren't exactly the same? What happens when two family members both refuse to back down? In this interactive workshop, award-winning debate coach Clayton will introduce some of game theory's most fascinating ideas and show how they appear constantly in ordinary life.

But you won't just learn the theory, you'll play it. Through games, challenges and negotiation scenarios involving family, work and social situations, you'll experiment with cooperation, competition, trust, compromise and strategy, then unpack why different approaches succeeded or failed. When should you cooperate, and when should you stand your ground? How can you create a win-win when two people want different things? And can understanding the other person's incentives completely change the way you negotiate? Expect clever games, surprising outcomes, plenty of interaction and practical ideas you can use the next time you need to persuade, negotiate, cooperate—or simply understand why somebody else is behaving the way they are.

博弈论是研究策略性决策的学科——人们怎么做选择，因为最佳行动不仅取决于你做什么，还取决于其他人可能做什么。在这节课中，你会把它的原理应用到涉及工作、家庭和社交策略的各类场景中。

每一天，我们都在不知不觉中玩着各种“游戏”。争论中谁先妥协？当利益不完全一致时，你怎么说服同事合作？当两个家人都拒绝让步时，会发生什么？在这场互动工作坊中，获奖辩论教练Clayton会介绍博弈论里一些有趣的概念，并展示它们如何在日常生活中频繁出现。

但你不只是学理论，你会亲身体验。通过游戏、挑战和涉及家庭、工作及社交场景的谈判情境，你会尝试合作、竞争、信任、妥协和策略，然后分析不同做法为什么成功或失败。什么时候该合作，什么时候该坚持己见？当两个人想要的东西不同时，怎么制造双赢？理解对方的动机会不会完全改变你的谈判方式？期待好玩的游戏、出乎意料的结果、大量互动，以及下次你要说服、谈判、合作——或者只是想搞懂为什么某人会那样做的时候就能用上的实用点子。
