27. Social Dilemmas
To see what we’re dealing with as a Community of Practice, let’s play a game:
Prisoner’s Dilemma

28. What To Do First, take one red card and one black card.
Number off, 1,2,1,2…
Prepare a score sheet:
Round
You
(R or B)
Other
Your Score 1
_____
______
________ 2 3 4
Color only matters – not rank

29. How To Play
You will be asked to play a card, and then I will match you with another player. Your earnings will depend on what you play and what your matched player chooses.
If you play R, your earnings go up 2, other none
If you play B, your earnings go up none, other 3
If you each play R, you each earn 2.
If you each play B, you each earn 3.
If you play R, other B, you earn 5, other 0.
If you play B, other R, you earn 0, other 5.
