The normal-form game box below outlines a generic game for two players to illustrate basic principles. Each player has two strategies (top and bottom for player 1 and left and right for player 2). The letters in the boxes represent the payoffs based on the combination of strategies chosen, so if the choices are (bottom left), player 1 receives a payoff of eand player 2 receives a payoff off. Player 2
Game Matrix Left Right
Player 1 Top a, b c, d
Bottom e, f g h
