[[Combinatorial game theory]] has several ways of [[Computational complexity theory|measuringmeasures]] '''game [[complexity]]'''. Thisin articleseveral describes five of themways: state-space complexity, game tree size, decision complexity, game-tree complexity, and computational complexity.

#state-space complexity (the number of legal game positions from the initial position),

#game tree size (total number of possible games),

#decision complexity (number of leaf nodes in the smallest decision tree for initial position),

#game-tree complexity (number of leaf nodes in the smallest full-width decision tree for initial position),

#computational complexity (asymptotic difficulty of a game as it grows arbitrarily large).

These measures involve understanding game positions, possible outcomes, and computation required for various game scenarios.
