Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, Reputation
The Repeated Game
The Repeated Game is an Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma and Reputation scenario. The core lesson: The shadow of the future transforms a defection game into a cooperation game. You're playing Prisoner's Dilemma with the same opponent, repeatedly, for an unknown number of rounds. They will remember everything you did. DecisionPlay maps the players, payoffs, and equilibrium dynamics that shape how this situation typically resolves.
