Huh. I feel like this could be a whole subreddit or wiki on its own? So open ended! Its not like there’s a uniquely correct response to it.
For myself, lately, the thing I’ve gotten the most mileage out of is “p-beauty contest played by, 2, 3, 4, or maybe 5 players”.
In a two player game, you simply bid zero if you can do math and want to win.
That’s all there is to it.
But it turns out a lot of kinda smart people need that math lesson!
Once you have three players who have all had that math lesson… then it gets interesting because it turns out a LOT of people hate the idea of generating a real “common knowledge certificate of mutual awareness of mathematical rationality recognizing mutual awareness of mathematical rationality”… or something?
So people will throw games! Or wax philosophical about their objections for 30 minutes before playing… or all kinds of stuff.
In my entire life, I have only seen “four humans all bid zero in the very first round” once.
