The Blotto game, also called the Colonel Blotto game, is a simultaneous two-player game in which each player allocates a fixed quantity of
resources among several battlefields. A player wins a battlefield by assigning more
resources to it than the opponent, and the payoff is determined
by the values of the battlefields won.
The game was formulated by Borel (1921). Its continuous version and many variants model strategic allocation problems in economics, politics,
and military planning.
