      The restricted Menger game on a topological space $X$ requires the second player to specify a positive integer $k_0$ and thereafter at the $n^{\text{th}}$ round the first player chooses an open cover $\mathcal U_n$ of $X$ then the second player chooses $\mathcal V_n\subset\mathcal U_n$ with $|\mathcal V_n|=k_n$ and positive integer $k_{n+1}$; the second player wins iff $X=\cup_{n=0}^\infty\cup\mathcal V_n$. The main result shows that the restricted Menger game and the Rothberger game (where $k_n=1$ for all $n$) are equivalent on a Hausdorff space.
