The package for computation in game theory
Gambit is an open-source collection of tools for doing computation in game theory. With Gambit, you can build, analyze, and explore game models.
Use Gambit's graphical interface to get intuition about simple games, or the command-line tools and Python extension to support your world-class research and practical applications.
Gambit is cross-platform: Get it for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux.
We are pleased to announce that The Alan Turing Institute has included support for Gambit development as part of its project, Automated analysis of strategic interactions .
The Turing-supported development that began in September 2023 will result in a new conceptual framework for expressing games, including games which are too large to represent explicitly, so that complex strategic interactions can be modelled with the assurance that the game model written down is the one intended by the user. This model will be implemented in Gambit, which will make Gambit suitable for use in supporting automated reasoning.
Through the project, Gambit will also incorporate recent developments in the algorithmic solution of games, including both exact and approximate equilibria, building upon and contributing to other cutting-edge libraries for scientific computing and mathematical programming.
Watch this space for specific details on the roadmap for Gambit in coming months, or follow the development on our GitHub repository.

We hope you will find Gambit useful for both teaching and research applications. If you do use Gambit in a class, or in a paper, we would like to hear about it. We are especially interested in finding out what you like about Gambit, and where you think improvements could be made.
