15. The Prisoner's Dilemma is a game where two players are incented if they both co-operate, fined if they both defect, but rewarded most if one defects while the other cooperates. It is a simple but powerful simulation of the dynamics and the psychology of cooperation between people. The game is played in a long iteration of rounds, so that players learn from and adapt to each others' behavior.
