Chicken Game

Chicken Game is a strategic interaction in game theory where two actors engage in a situation of escalating risk, such that the first to yield loses face while mutual defiance leads to the worst outcome for both, distinguishing it from other models of conflict and cooperation by its unique payoff structure centered on brinkmanship and credibility.
