not cooperate. Besides Hawk-Dove, other well-studied games of this type are the game of chicken and the snowdrift game (Doebeli and liauert. 2005: Nowak, 2006a). We introduce a two-player survival game which can fall into any of these four classes. It may also change, for example from a Hawk-Dove g

haviors or strategies. When both players are present. each step is a symmetric two-player game. The overall survival of the two individuals forms a Markov chain. As the number of iterations tends to infinity, all probabilities of survival decrease to Zero. We obtain general, analytical results for n-st

Hence the Markov chain Ls linear in the number of vertices of the graphs, and since absorption probabilities in Markov chains can be computed in polynomial time (by

This description, however, can lead to very different conditions for arbitrary selection and for weak sele
