I had a chance to put this theory to the test during a seminar this last summer. As you might expect, the individual greed of a person often directs their choices, and in the end, there was only one group out of the 12 that actually ended up coming out on top, and it was because all the group members agreed to answer a certain way, and STUCK to it. Other groups, like mine, went to cover their own back, and in the end ended up losing the game.
The key to Nash's theory, in my opinion, is that everyone must agree to work for the common good of the group, or one person will take advantage and everyone else is knifed in the back. Not a fun thing at all.
