The players will measure the state in the <math>|0\rangle, |1\rangle </math> basis and interpret them as using roads A or B. In two cases out of 8 the first player will be in a minority; the same is true for the other players. Classically, each player will win with probability 1/8. Therefore, writing the rules of the game into an entanglement improves the probability of winning.

The problem will arise in the complexity of building the entanglement or scaling it to a KPR game. Also, the quantum minority game implicitly assumes all players cooperate in using the measurement, which will become hard to achieve when the group becomes large.
