The phenomenon of play (Huizinga, 1938; Bern, 1964) is studied as the formative and functional basis of stratagemics, the basis for the modern application of asymmetric influence in conditions of confrontation. The essential connection between game psychological methodology and classical stratagemics is substantiated, as is the content of psychological mechanisms implemented in the processes of applying stratagems in conditions of heterogeneous confrontation. The approaches presented in the article make it possible to expose current attempts to use stratagems by opponents or adversaries, to organize the selection and use of stratagems for the purpose of asymmetric counteraction in conditions of confrontation, and to identify the psychological factors of such counteraction
