Two outlined participants exchanging a red token.

Why open it

Play a simplified series of encounters, then explore how repetition, mistakes and the surrounding rules affect cooperation. The payoff rules are explicit, so you can question the model as you use it. It is not a test of whether a real person deserves your trust.

Take a question with you

Before opening: predict what a single misunderstanding might do to a repeated exchange. Compare that prediction with what the model shows.
