Game without a value game has an infinite set of strategies. There follows a simple example of a game with no minimax value. The existence of such zero-sum games is interesting because many of the results of game theory become inapplicable if there is no minimax value. Players I and II each choose a number, formula_1 and formula_2 respectively, with formula_3; the payoff to I is (i.e. player II pays formula_5 to player I;the game is zero-sum). Sometimes player I is referred to as the "maximizing player" and player II the "minimizing player". If formula_6 is interpreted as a point on the unit square,
