What Wikipedia says

In game theory, the stag hunt (also referred to as the assurance game, trust dilemma or common interest game) describes a situation or game where participants would be better off cooperating to achieve a more ambitious goal (hunting a stag together, which succeeds), but can choose a safer option (hunting a hare on one's own) that protects them from a bad outcome (hunting a stag alone, which fails, while the other hunts a hare).
