The Veto Game

The Veto Game is a strategic decision-making scenario where a group must choose whether to accept or reject a proposal, knowing that one member has the power to veto or block the decision. If everyone agrees, the proposal passes; if anyone dissenters, the veto-holder can prevent it from moving forward. The game explores how individuals weigh the benefits of agreement against the risk of veto power, often leading to negotiations or compromises. It models real-world situations such as political negotiations or corporate decisions, emphasizing the influence of veto authority on collective choices.
