No Video Lecture is available for this lecture -- L6 covers these concepts but much more rapidly, and covers many additional concepts covered in later lectures as well. Advanced Micro I - Lec 6: Game Theory, Decision Trees - may be useful as a supplement

L6 - Game Theory -- Compressed coverage of Lectures 1 to 5 - Video Lecture from Adv Micro II covers basic game theory concepts
