Firstly a short proof of the unicity of the reduced form of a normal form game is provided, using a technique to reduce a game originally introduced by Mertens. Secondly a direct combinatorial-geometric interpretation of the reduced form is described. This description is then used to derive an algorithm for the calculation of the reduced form of a game.
