Find a simultaneous moves game presented in a movie or television show and present this game to the class
on the course discussion board.
Set up the game. Briefly introduce the characters, describe the plot and set up the scene. Do not assume that
your audience is familiar with the movie/show.
Show a short clip that depicts the game. Download all clips prior to class and make sure that all clips are
appropriate for the classroom (in other words, make sure that all clips are PG).
Construct the payoff matrix for the simultaneous game and present an analysis of the game. In your analysis
consider the following:
What are your assumptions in defining the game?
What are each player’s strategy options?
Does either player have a dominate strategy?
Does this game have a Nash equilibrium?
Is the movie/show consistent with the game?
How could the game be changed to create a dominant strategy or generate a Nash equilibrium (if it does not have one)?
