Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you are aware, game theory has a pervasive presence in mathematics, and has led to significant understanding and fundamental advances in several mathematical domains.
The length of games significantly impacts whether one of the two players has, in a mathematically precise sense, a winning strategy. In the case of infinite games, the existence of a winning strategy has important structural implications for the domain of mathematics in which the games are played. In the case of finite games, the complexity of deciding which player has a winning strategy, as well as the complexity of exhibiting an actual winning strategy has numerous implications in the field of computational complexity, as well as in other algorithm founded fields of science and mathematics.
This Issue aims to create a meaningful introduction to the impact of the methods and results of two-player games where both players have perfect information on fundamental areas of mathematics, and to provide a forum for making significant new results part of the mathematical record.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Games is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
