Index P
P is for... Prisoner's dilemma - a problem in game theory in which one-way distrust leads to the best possible outcome for one player, but mutual distrust leads to the worst outcome for both. It has been used as a game mechanic in Trust Me, Shafted, Golden Balls and in a modified form in Beg, Borrow or Steal.
