Table 3.

Human preferences across the three games. Earnings measure the mean earnings per trial for the pair, and so range from 0.25 (one individual earned a quarter from playing Hare and their partner earned nothing from playing Stag) to 2.0 (both earned a dollar from playing Stag). An average of 0.5 means that both played Hare on every trial. A mean of 1.825 indicates a single Hare play and a mean of 1.85 indicates a single Hare-Hare trial.
