In two-person, non-zero-sum games {prisoner's dilemma}|, players can choose from two alternatives. If both players choose number one, both players get reward. If both players choose number two, both players get punishment. If one player chooses number one and the other chooses number two, first player has more punishment, but second player has more reward.
strategy
Both players do best if they cooperate. However, if one player uses only one strategy, other player can change strategy and get big reward.
experiments
In real experiments, finite games have no cooperation, but infinite games have cooperation.
factors
Reward and punishment sizes, previous play, communication ability, and personality affect the game, so it is a competitive game.
