Any strategic situation can be modeled as a game by using four elements: players, strategies, payoffs, and information. When the structure of the game is common knowledge for all players, the game is said to have imperfect information. A best response is a strategy that produces the highest payoff among all possible strategies for a player given what the other player is doing.
