Variation (game tree)

In the context of game theory, specifically when analyzing game trees, "variation" refers to the different possible sequences of moves or play that can occur in a game. Each variation represents a unique path through the game tree, which is a visual representation of the possible moves in a game from the initial state to all potential outcomes. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Game Tree**: A game tree is a branching diagram that illustrates the sequential moves in a game.
