✦ Synopsis

The 2 • 2 game is the simplest and most commonly employed representation of strategic conflict. The 78 strict ordinal 2 x 2 games have been used as conflict models extensively, and have been related in several different taxonomies. However, interest has recently focussed on the full set of 726 general ordinal games, in which one or both players may have equal preferences for two or more outcomes. This paper describes the development of a practical taxonomy of all 726 ordinal 2 x 2 games. The taxonomy provides for rapid identification of particular games, gives a convenient ordering, is as consistent as possible with previous work, and yet is not tied to any specific solution concepts. As well, definitions of several significant game properties are developed or extended to general ordinal games and applied in conjunction with the taxonomy.

Game theory has provided many tools for the study of social conflict. The 2 x 2 game has been found to be a particularly useful model. This paper describes the enumeration and analysis of all 726 distinct 2 x 2 games. A computer is used to generate the complete set, and a wide variety of maximin, eq

Various conditions on a noncommutative ring imply that it is 2-primal (i.e., the ring's prime radical coincides with the set of nilpotent elements of the ring). We will examine several such conditions and show that their known interdependencies are their only ones. Of particular interest will be the
