This is evident btw, in Kissinger:
“The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose.”
First part is badly worded, but second part nails it: guerilla wins if he stays in the game at all, since the adversaries goal is to EnderWiggin them

I don’t think Carse talked about this, but there is such a thing as a dark infinite game, where goal is to continue the game with the opponent rendered invisible (by death if necessary). Total war/genocide are the extreme examples.
