Minority game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minority Game is a game proposed by Yi-Cheng Zhang and Damien Challet from the University of Fribourg. It is inspired by the El Farol bar problem, which is a simple model that shows how (selfish) players cooperate with each other in the absence of communication. In the Minority Game, an odd number of players have to choose one of two choices independently at each turn. The players who end up on the minority side win.
