In game theory, a dominant strategy is a strategy that is better than any other strategy for one player, no matter how that player's opponent will play. Some very simple games can be solved using dominance. The opposite, intransitivity, occurs in games where one strategy may be better or worse than another strategy for one player, depending on how the player's opponents may play.
