Husband and wife want to spend Friday evening at cinema. They can watch the same movie, or different ones. They choose between two movies: “Heroes of War” and “Loving Stranger”. If they go to the same movie, they both feel satisfaction: in the case they watch “Heroes of War” husband’s satisfaction is higher, but in case they watch “Loving Stranger” wife’s satisfaction is higher. If they decide to watch different movies they feel no satisfaction at all. Help them to make the best decision (in terms of game theory – find Nash equilibrium).

Consider a game where player A moves first, choosing between Left and Right. Then, after observing player A’s choice, player B moves next choosing between Up and Down. Which of the following is true? This is a game where players A and B have the same number of strategies. Player A will get a higher payoff than player B as A moves first. This is game will only have one Nash equilibrium. This is a game of perfect information.
