8 Ss played each other on four 5 × 5 non-saddle-point games presented on color-coded apparatuses. Ss learned to approximate the minimax strategies for both sides of each of the 4 games. Differences in ease of learning among games were significant. No transfer of training from one game to another was obtained.
