best as long as both choose the same, no incentive to deviate
Comparison with previous Games
chance is here not necessary to produce a positive output
both have a subgame strategy of going to the own venue (top right)
collusion can only happen when 1 - and only 1 - player is deviating from their subgame strategy to increase the payoffs
Analysis Problems and Long-Term Thinking
analysis
nothing interesting, perfect 50/50 split as if picked randomly
long-term marriage
one can think of colluding to always go to either venue together (both opera or both football) which will leave one of the players with a higher payoff
in reality there will be some arrangement of alternating the venue either each time or occasionally to create equal payoffs for both partners
