2. THE SET-UP
As you read these instructions, you will be in a room with a number of other participants. Each participant has been randomly assigned an ID number.

The experiment consists of 20 decision rounds. In each round, you will be randomly assigned to a group of 3 participants, that is, you will be paired with two other participants. Therefore, a group consists of 3 participants and is randomly re-matched at the beginning of each decision round. This implies that the groups will not remain the same throughout the decision rounds.

The identities of the group members are not revealed to each other.

There are 2 types of players, type BLUE players and type GREEN players. Type BLUE players are further divided into subtypes, subtype LIGHT BLUE and subtype DARK BLUE. The difference between the types will be explained shortly. At the beginning of the experiment, each participant will be randomly assigned to play the role of either a LIGHT BLUE, DARK BLUE, or GREEN player. You will be notified about your player type by the computer. You will keep your assigned player type for the entire duration of the experiment.

Each randomly composed group of 3 participants always consists of 1 LIGHT BLUE, 1 DARK BLUE, and 1 GREEN player.
