As a science, what's its predictive power?
There are game theoretic models for many areas, from politics to economics to biology. The models have some predictive power, but human decision making is too complex to accurately model.
Most models revolve around attaining some measure of equilibrium, and the strategies to achieve equilibrium give the model it's predictive ability.
