Abstract :
A game is a decision-making situation with many players, each having objectives that conflict with each other. The players involved in the game usually make their decisions under conditions of risk or uncertainty. In the paper, a fuzzy approach is proposed to solve the strategic game problem in which the pure strategy set for each player is already defined. Based on the concepts of fuzzy set theory, the approach uses a multicriteria decision-making method to obtain the optimal strategy in the game, a method which shows more advantages than the classical game methods. Moreover, with this approach, some useful conclusions are reached concerning the famous “prisoner´s dilemma” problem in game theory
