A noncooperative model of a normal form game is developed using tools from fuzzy set theory. The paper extends the decision theory framework of Bellman and Zadeh (1970) to a game‐theoretic setting. We identify conditions for the existence of equilibrium in this setting and provide a duopoly example. The paper also provides a review of the existing literature on noncooperative fuzzy games and their applications.
