Note that in game 2, the move order of the outcomes [60, 30] and [50, 50] are reversed relative to game 1. 

Data for last trial only for comparability with other single experiments. 

Seventeen of the 24 pairs from repeat single 1 returned for a single play of game 1 with a 20-fold increase in payoffs.
