Abstract

The article focuses on examining how games and gaming structures function in medieval literature—especially in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—and how reading these texts through cultural game theory reveals their narrative and cultural meanings. Topics include the application of game theory to medieval literary interpretation, the role of rules and reader participation in "game-texts," and examples of games shaping themes, plots, and social symbolism across medieval narratives.
