by known players. Infinite games, in contrast, are played by known and unknown players. They have fixed rules There are no exact or agreed-upon rules And there is an agreed-upon objective that, when reached, ends the game Though there may be conventions or laws that govern how the players conduct themselves, within those broad boundaries, the players can operate however they want. e.g., Football, is a finite game. In finite games, there is always a beginning, a middle and an end In finite games, there’s a single, agreed-upon metric that separates the winner from the loser, things like goals scored, speed or strength. In infinite games, there are multiple metrics, which is why we can never declare a winner. In a finite game, the game ends when its time is up and the players live on to play another day (unless it was a duel, of course). • In an infinite game, it’s the opposite. • It is the game that lives on, and it is the players whose time runs out. • Because there is no such thing as winning or losing in an infinite game, the players simply drop out of the game when they run out of the will and resources to keep playing. • In business we call this bankruptcy or sometimes merger or acquisition.
