       | around but it's seem like only researcher interested in this.

         | I didn't do it but see echoes of that work in the web3 world
         | now. DAO governance and tokenomics are 100% game theory.

         | There are also links to social media influence modeling.

         | installing) for example could be served over http or a piece of
         | string even.

           | The reason Gambit is required is that you pick characters by
           | drawing from a deck. So you both know you can't have the same
           | person. But if you let this knowledge affect your guesses
           | then you leak information. So there's potentially some amount
           | of bluff required.
