Imagination

Imagine playing your favorite two-player game, such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect

Four, or
chess, but instead of alternating moves you bid against your opponent for
the right to
decide who moves next. For instance, you might play a game of bidding
chess in which
you and your opponent each start with one hundred bidding chips. If you bid
twelve for
the first move, and your opponent bids ten, then you give twelve chips to
your opponent
and make the first move. Now you have eighty-eight chips and your
opponent has one
hundred and twelve, and you bid for the second move...
