Cheap is a word that has been used to complain about almost any aspect of a game.[1] Because of this, it has no clear meaning. Possible definitions include:
- A strategy that someone cannot figure out how to beat
- A strategy that is seen as unfair or in poor sportsmanship
- A strategy that produces equal success compared to a more complex/difficult strategy, requiring less effort (or "cheaper" effort) to reach the same success
As the concept of cheapness is subjective, there are usually no rules preventing them in tournament play - if a tactic is strong enough to be banned, it is typically regarded as being broken instead of cheap.
