Strategy Mind
A game theory–based strategy simulator inspired by the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma. Players face an adaptive computer opponent across multiple rounds, learning about cooperation, betrayal, and trust through play.
Strategy Mind
Play against a computer opponent that switches classic game-theory strategies each round (Tit-for-Tat, Grim Trigger, Always Defect, etc.). Choose Cooperate (C) or Defect (D) each turn. Earn or lose virtual coins based on both players’ choices. Strategy is revealed at the end of each round.
Tip: Try cooperating for a few turns to probe the computer’s behavior — some strategies reward sustained cooperation, others punish quickly.
