[edit] Farmer's Dilemma?

I don't know anything about game theory, really, but shouldn't Wikipedia have an article (and a mention in this table) about the Farmer's Dilemma? It's mentioned in this article and this article at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Dave Runger(t)⁄(c) 04:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The Farmer's dilemma is a version of the Prisoner's dilemma. I will create a redirect. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 19:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Game classes to add

There are some classes of games that are not mentioned in the list, like public good games or colonel blotto games. Also, in my opinion, the war of attrition game should be on the list. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chevalier de la charrette (talk • contribs) 18:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Maybe also the "traveller's dilemma" game, should be present, it is in this shorter list Template:Game_theory. I think many of the games are close relatives. Browsing this list of strange names is not easy. Maybe we should try to better split them into categories.--RomualdoGrillo 16:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cake cutting sequential?

Unless I'm missing something, the common solution (cut-then-choose) to the cake cutting problem assumes it's sequential. Cretog8 (talk) 22:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
