About this manual

This manual is written with the assumption the reader is familiar with the basic terms and concepts of game theory. Where possible, Gambit uses terminology standard in game theory; definitions of game-theoretic concepts will only be introduced where confusion may occur. Game theory novices should supplement this manual with a standard text on the topic; a list of some of these is given in the bibliography.

Beginning with version 0.97, the Gambit manual is written using DocBook. This manual can always be browsed online at the Gambit website, and can be downloaded in HTML and PDF formats for local use.
