What do dirty-dish standoffs, tariff negotiations, ride-share fee wars, marriage conflicts, and self-driving cars negotiating a four-way stop have in common? They’re all games, and the stakes are higher than you think. In this episode, Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas channel their inner secret agents to reveal how Game Theory turns everyday choices into strategic missions, and how a single tweak to the “rules” can flip winners and losers overnight.
You’ll learn why incentives rule the world, how reputation keeps price wars from turning nuclear, and why a dash of randomness is your best defense against being out-guessed. From roommate dish duty to multi-agent AIs, we unpack the moves, countermoves, and mixed strategies that shape business, tech, and your daily life.
