It doesn’t study games, it studies competitive systems. Mathematicians chose to call competitive systems games and that was a mistake.

It studies cooperative systems too. The most specific term that covers everything in it really is Game.

And what’s a concise word to describe a system in which participants make decisions within some ruleset where the interaction between each participant’s decisions and the ruleset leads to determining whether each participant wins or loses?
