A Game of strategy based on the Prisoner’s Dilemma.
The outcome depends on the decision of each team. The ability to understand and anticipate what others will decide is therefore essential.
A Game of Strategy for Strategic Thinking
The prisoner's dilemma is a game theory thought experiment that involves two rational agents, each of whom can cooperate for mutual benefit or compete for individual reward.
The prisoner's dilemma models many real-world situations involving strategic behavior. In casual usage, the label “prisoner's dilemma” may be applied to any situation in which two entities could gain important benefits from cooperating or suffer from failing to do so, but find it difficult or expensive to coordinate their activities.
