Our take on Game Theory At Christmas
The game replaces a conventional combat or puzzle structure with six social and economic dilemmas. Those repeated decision scenarios also control plot advancement, while coin management and character levels determine access to later stages.
What is Game Theory At Christmas?
Game Theory At Christmas is a spoof game built around six non-zero-sum games: Guess the Mean 2/3, Dollar Auction, Traveler’s Dilemma, Prisoner’s Dilemma, Free Rider Problem, and Ultimatum Game.
Players enter numbers, place bids, cooperate or betray, choose between responses, and decide how coins are divided. Star coins and snow coins can be used to raise character levels, with effects changing as characters advance. Plot progression requires meeting conditions for each level while managing these currencies. Some levels require a character to reach a specified level. When progress stops, earlier levels can be replayed to collect more star coins for upgrades. Normal play requires an internet connection. The game’s English text was produced with Google Translate.
