I don't know how to format a table, but here is what I want the game to be:
A-action B-action A-winnings B-winnings
Now compare this with Newcomb's game:
A-action Prediction A-winnings
Now, if the "Prediction" in the second table is actually a flawless prediction of a different player's action then we obtain the first three columns of the first table.
Hopefully the rest is clear, and please forgive the triviality of this observation.
