Once a game has been played, it can be replayed with different matching options: Random, Fixed, Fixed Role, Fixed Group, or Rotate Role. To learn more about replaying and copying games, read this article.
The table below summarizes how subject characteristics are determined in the new game: Role (e.g., buyer vs. seller); Values (e.g., costs for a seller in the competitive market); and Group. Note that not all options are available after certain games.
Random Matching
In Random matching, players can switch roles and partners. This is like all of the players are scrambled and reassigned roles and partners at the start of the new game.
Fixed
In Fixed matching, players will have the same role as the just-completed game, and play with the same partner or partners at the start of a new game.
Fixed Role
In Fixed Role matching, players will have the same role as the just-completed game, but may play with different partners.
Fixed Group
In Fixed Group matching, players will stay in the same group but may change roles.
Rotate Role
With Rotate Role, players will switch roles from the previous game, but will play the same partners.
At this time, you cannot use matching across different games. For example, you cannot pair the same students who previously played a matrix game together into a bargaining game together.
