Abstract argumentation (Dung 1995) is a theory of dialectic that allows us to formalise and study various notions of argument acceptability. We depart from this standard approach and formalise a measure of argument strength by applying the concept of value of a game, as defined in Game Theory (von Neumann 1928). The measure thus obtained satisfies a number of intuitively appealing properties that can be derived mathematically from the minimax theorem.
