Abstract

Nowadays, games usually provide a lot of options for players. Players can choose the way that they like to play games. However, some dominant strategies in games may break the game balance. The dominant strategy may become the only option for players even though there are other options. In addition, some choices in games may not be suitable for different levels of players. Finally, it decreases the gameplay and wastes other game assets. Keeping the game balance between different options can be a method to avoid the dominant strategy. This research analyzes the problem of game strategy balance through relevant theories, and tries to find some methods to solve this problem.
