After playing the game I can see exactly what the game was trying to demonstrate. It showed how you have to think about your opponents decision beforehand to try and get an advantage while in turn will help them win. Overall I didnt like the game very much, but I can see how this can apply over to everyday life.  It can help you get more of an advantage and get what you want.
