= __Name:__ Russian Roulette = Each player gets a gun with 1 bullet each in a random compartment. Players will choose whether or not to shoot the gun at their partner, all players decide at the same time. If neither player shoots the other, each player gets 5 pts. If you pull the trigger at another player you get 100 pts and the other player loses 100 pts. If Both players shoot the other player, they each lose 90 pts.
 * __ General Description of Game __**
 * __ Rules of the Game __**

Players will be allowed time to talk between each other. **__ Materials Required __** multiple guns and ammo.

**__ Predicted Results __** The expected result (Nash Equilibrium) is that both players shoot eachother because both have the same dominate strategy that if they shoot the other person they come out ahead no matter what the other situation is. Even though the best outcome would be to never shoot eachother and play the game indefinately, there is no way of telling what the other person will do and in either situation the better short-run answer is to shoot.
