In this paper we propose new games that satisfy nested constraints given by a level structure of cooperation. This structure is defined by a family of partitions on the set of players. It is ordered in such a way that each partition is a refinement of the next one. We propose a value for these games by adapting the Shapley value. The value is characterized axiomatically. For this purpose, we introduce a new property called class balance contributions by generalizing other properties in the literature. Finally, we introduce a multilinear extension of our games and use it to obtain an expression for calculating the adapted Shapley value.
