We introduce and study satisfiability games, a new class of games that can be seen as the non-cooperative version of classical maximum satisfiability problems. We give several results involving these games and mainly focus on their expressiveness. In particular, we show that there exists a strong correspondence between satisfiability games and congestion games. As one of the consequences of our results, we show that each game is isomorphic to a congestion game with player specific payoffs. Thus, each other game can be defined as a particular specialization of congestion games with player specific payoffs and this paper can be considered as a first effort in outlining a classification of non-cooperative games.
