Conversations on the math of games started some time before the ascent of present day n game hypothesis. Cardano's work on shots in the dark in Liber de ludo aleae (Book on Gam Chance), which was composed around 1564 however distributed after death in 1663, form portion of the field's fundamental thoughts. During the 1650s, Pascal and Huygens fostered of assumption on thinking about the design of shots in the dark, and Huygens distributed h math in De ratiociniis in ludo aleae (On Reasoning in Games of Chance) in 1657
