Stag Hunt — Single Player

Two hunters must choose to hunt Stag or Hare. Stag pays the most but only if you both choose Stag (you need each other). Hare is safer: it yields a smaller but reliable return even if you pick different actions. This creates two coordination outcomes — a high‑pay (Stag, Stag) that requires trust, and a safe (Hare, Hare).

Payoff matrix (you, opponent):

You Stag vs Opp Stag
(4, 4)
You Stag vs Opp Hare
(0, 3)
You Hare vs Opp Stag
(3, 0)
You Hare vs Opp Hare
(2, 2)

Canonical Stag Hunt ordering: 4 > 3 > 2 > 0. (Stag, Stag) and (Hare, Hare) are both coordination equilibria.

Opponent behavior
