"Who along with Mel Hausner, Lloyd S. Shapley and Martin Shubik invented a board game called ""So Long Sucker"" in 1950 which involves game theory strategies?"
"""So Long Sucker"", was ""Fuck Your Buddy"". The first episode of Adam Curtis's documentary ""The Trap"", which looked at Nash's work, was subtitled ""F**k You Buddy"". So Long Sucker So Long Sucker is a board game invented in 1950 by John Forbes Nash, Mel Hausner, Lloyd S. Shapley and Martin Shubik. It is a four-person bargaining/economic strategy game. Each player begins the game with 7 chips, and in the course of play, attempts to acquire all the other players' chips. This requires making agreements with the other players which are ultimately unenforceable. To win, players must eventually go back on"

"Mertens's work here goes back to the von Neumann original roots of game theory with a zero-sum two person set up, vitality and innovations with wider application have been pervasive. Stochastic games were introduced by Lloyd Shapley in 1953. The first paper studied the discounted two-person zero-sum stochastic game with finitely many states and actions and demonstrates the existence of a value and stationary optimal strategies. The study of the undiscounted case evolved in the following three decades, with solutions of special cases by Blackwell and Ferguson in 1968 and Kohlberg in 1974.

"Shapley–Shubik power index The Shapley–Shubik power index was formulated by Lloyd Shapley and Martin Shubik in 1954 to measure the powers of players in a voting game. The index often reveals surprising power distribution that is not obvious on the surface. The constituents of a voting system, such as legislative bodies, executives, shareholders, individual legislators, and so forth, can be viewed as players in an ""n""-player game. Players with the same preferences form coalitions. Any coalition that has enough votes to pass a bill or elect a candidate is called winning, and the others are called losing. Based on Shapley"
"game theory had a little crisis: it could not find a strategy for a simple game called ""The Prisoner's Dilemma"" (PD) where two players have the option to cooperate for mutual gain, but each also takes a risk of being suckered. The prisoner's dilemma game (invented around 1950 by Merrill M. Flood and Melvin Dresher) takes its name from the following scenario: you and a criminal associate have been busted. Fortunately for you, most of the evidence was shredded, so you are facing only a year in prison. But the prosecutor wants to nail someone, so he offers you a"

Clobber is best played with two players and takes an average of 15 minutes to play. It is suggested for ages 8 and up. It is typically played on a rectangular white and black checkerboard.

The organization contracts each individual by boss and approval relation with others. So each individual has its own authority structure, called command game.
