Abstract
The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly a short proof of the unicit y of the reduced form of a normal form game is provided, using a techn ique to reduce a game originally introduced by Mertens. Secondly a dir ect combinatorial-geometric interpretation of the reduced form is desc ribed. This description is then used to derive an algorithm for the ca lculation of the reduced form of a game.
