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.
