Sequential games
Abstract
We give a general construction of sequential games among multiple players, as well as a construction of the composition of sequential games. We obtain new properties of the optimal class of win-by-k games, including closure under composition and independence between the winner of the game and the number of points played. We obtain new results on the asymptotic efficiency of the n-point, win-by-k games.
