Abstract
We have suggested that utilization of soft computing techniques such as GAs and EAs could contribute a lot for making the original COMMONS GAME much more exciting. In this paper, we try to find an answer concerning to the question “Which game is the best for letting people consider seriously about the commons among the three games (the original COMMONS GAME, the modified COMMONS GAME utilizing GAs & NNs , and the modified COMMONS GAME utilizing EAs & NNs) ?”. Several game playing by our students confirm that the modified COMMONS GAME utilizing EAs & NNs can provide the best chance for letting players consider seriously about the commons.
