How to read the Payoff Tables

In Part 2, you will be playing a series of games with computer players based on the Payoff Tables. The games involve strategic interaction: each player's payoff is influenced not only by their own choices but also by the choices of their opponent. Let's look at an example of a typical payoff table:

This table displays Player 2's potential payoffs.
These payoffs depend on both Player 2's and Player 3's choices.
The rows list Player 2's 4 possible actions (A2, B2, C2, D2).
The columns list Player 3's 4 possible actions (A3, B3, C3, D3).
Each cell represents Player 2's payoff under a unique combination of choices from Players 2 and 3.

For instance, the colored row indicates that when Player 2 choose A2, he has 4 possible payoffs (1, 2, 3, 4), the outcome will depend on Player 3's choice.

The colored column indicates that when Player 3 choose A3, Player 2 also has 4 possible payoffs (1, 8, 9, 16), the outcome will depend on his own choice.

The number "1" with a red border indicates Player 2's payoff is "1" when Player 3 choose A3 and Player 2 choose A2.

You can highlight each cell by clicking the cell and remove the highlight by clicking it again during the whole experiment.
