I’ve actually learned about game theory by watching this exact lecture series (ECON 159) online on my own and I will recommend this to anyone. It doesn’t require anything except for basic algebra and, later on, some basic economics.
It’s worth adding that you’ll probably get more out of it if you have more maths than this. There are a couple of examples of optimisation with basic calculus to find mixed strategy Nash Equilibria, for example, but the course is clearly aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, so it’s possible to just take the maths as given.
