In a voluntary contribution game, each member of a group contributes to a common pool and each contribution benefits everyone. This is a classic example of a public goods game, where individuals must balance their own self-interest with the interests of the group as a whole. The challenge in this type of game is to encourage everyone to contribute to the common pool, despite the temptation to free-ride on the contributions of others.
