Give-Take Game

The Give-Take game is a 2-player multi-stage game where players take turns sharing a resource. Only the player that has the resource is able to get (in the corresponding stage) its value. The player that has the resource can give it and the player that doesn't have it can take it. These two actions are not free. The player that gives the resource receives a bonus while taking the resource has costs involved for both the performer and the subject. The following list describes the parameters:

1

resource value

b_g

bonus for giving the resource

c_pt

c_st
