Cafe Meetup 9/10: The Schelling Game

It’s been too long! We’ll practice our coordination-without-communication by playing the Schelling Game. We take turns announcing a category, then everyone else picks a member of that category, trying to pick the same thing as everyone else (Examples: restaurant -> McDonald’s, river -> Colorado). You get a point for every time you pick the most popular value, unless everyone else picks it.

It practices your ability to reason about common knowledge. Hope to see you there!
