Coordination and bargaining games center on shared payoffs
Coordination games are scenarios with common interest where players get shared payoffs by coordinating their behavior, but multiple ways to coordinate exist so the interesting question is how actors settle on one; bargaining games are a subclass concerning resource division (money, time, effort), which is ubiquitous in human life and requires coordination.
