Eight weeks of thinking.
Every week builds on the last. One dinner-table debate per week — not optional.
What Is a Game?
Introduce the vocabulary of game theory: players, choices, rules, and outcomes. Play three simple games and debrief what made each one interesting.
Zero-Sum Thinking
Explore what it means when one person winning requires another to lose. Where zero-sum thinking helps — and where it destroys.
The Prisoner's Dilemma
The most famous problem in game theory. Why do rational people sometimes make choices that hurt everyone? What does Scripture say about trust?
Cooperation & Reputation
How repeated interaction changes behavior. What makes someone trustworthy? How does reputation get built — and lost?
Negotiation & Fairness
The basics of negotiation: anchoring, BATNA, and fair division. Role-play a negotiation and debrief what felt fair and why.
Strategy in Everyday Life
Apply game theory to real decisions: family dynamics, friendships, business, and civic life. Where do you see strategy playing out around you?
Biblical Wisdom & Strategy
Deep dive into Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Sermon on the Mount as strategic texts. What does it mean to be wise in a world of competing interests?
The Final Move
Reflection and presentation. The student presents their Logic Journal to a parent, summarizing what they learned and one decision they'll make differently.
Required Materials
- —A dedicated notebook (the "Logic Journal")
- —A Bible
One game per session
Each week uses a different game to teach a core concept. Every game has a free substitution — you don't need all eight to start.
Most families already own 3–4 of these games. Starting cost from scratch is ~$115–120; ~$50–65 if you own the common ones. Every item has a free substitution — don't let a missing game stop a session.
