Study Summary.

In this experiment you are a part of a group of players. In every game you are given 10 tokens. You will be asked to decide if you contribute your 10 tokens to the group or keep the 10 tokens to yourself. If 4 players or more choose to contribute then the group succeeds, and every player of the group gets a reward of 20 tokens. If less than 4 players choose to contribute then the group fails, and the contributed tokens are lost.

The game will be played for 30 rounds. The players and the size of the group change from round to round.

At the end of the session (after 30 rounds) a bonus will be rewarded according to the performance (the accumulated number of tokens that were earned in the session): The top 10% players will get 30 NS. The top 40% players will participate in a lottery of 2 prizes, 200 NS each.
