The game most relevant for our age is Illuminati. (Risk with factions and money vs. countries and armies. But the topology differs every game.)

Very well written! Relevant:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/decision-theory/#WhaPreOvePro

If you check the section on "Expected utility" (i.e EU) theory, you basically get ('in formal speak') a rendering of what "payoff" looks like (in a strictly Bayesian, non-normative) sense.

The section on "Unawareness" and Sequental Decisions also have some nice gems in there with regard to what you dub "uncertainty". Decision Theory has a broader outlook on what that means and this essay sort of looks at the beginnings of that.

Enjoy!
