ABSTRACT
This chapter is devoted to two classes of games involving players whose interests are best served through strategic collaboration. The first is the class of coordination games, which are characterized by coincidence of the players’ interests, and the second is the minimal social situation, which has intrigued game theorists and experimental investigators for some time. The minimal social situation is a class of games involving incomplete information; in its strict form, the players are ignorant not only of the nature but even of the fact of their strategic interdependence.
