review text: The author argues that maximin strategies may be at least as attractive as Nash equilibrium strategies in games where the large population arguments do not apply, e.g., in games in which players cannot assess precisely the probabilities with which their opponents randomize, or in games in which players each time face new opponents and the history of past play is not available.
