The paper deals with multiplayer normal form games which are preceded by a ‘preplay negotiation phase’ consisting of exchange of preplay offers by players for payments of utility to other players conditional on them playing designated in the offers strategies. The game-theoretic effect of such preplay offers is a transformation of the payoff matrix of the game, obtained by transferring the offered payments between the payoffs of the respective players; thus, certain groups of game matrix transformations naturally emerge. The main result is an explicit and rather transparent algebraic characterization of the possible transformations of the payoff matrix of any given N-person normal form game induced by preplay offers for transfer of payments. That result can be used to describe the ‘bargaining space’ of the game and to determine the mutually optimal game transformations that rational players can achieve by exchange of preplay offers.
