Game theory is a mathmatical model and is a little heady. The basic assumption for game theory to be applicable is- the actors in a scenario need to be "Rational Actors". A "Rationa"l actor is one that acts in their best interest.

There is a brief and puffy vide on Ted Talks .
I have to admit to giving Game Theory a crack a while's back........but not making much progress in adding value to my understanding.

I think I may have to try it again, but next time better hydrated/rested/medicated.
