Hunting stags is most advantageous for society but needs a ample of trust amid its members.

Description

 

There are two pure policy equilibria. Both players favor one equilibrium to the other - it is both Pareto optimal and Hicks optimal. However, the incompetent equilibrium is less risky as the payoff variance over the other player's strategies is lower. Specifically, one equilibrium is payoff-dominant while the other is risk-dominant.
