Dictator game

The dictator game is a game where two players are asked to divide a certain amount of money or points between themselves. Player one is known as the dictator and they get to decide how to divide the money or points, but the other player cannot make any decisions. Player two can only accept the money or points that the dictator offers them. The dictator can keep the money or points for themselves, or can offer some or all to player two. The dictator game is used to study decision making among people and how people act in different situations.
