Beautiful Game Theory

Beautiful Game Theory appears in How to win a penalty shootout (with game theory) as Ignacio Palacio Huerta’s related book. The episode points to it after explaining how penalty kicks became a useful real-world test of Game Theory and Mixed Strategy.

The book’s role in the wiki is source-adjacent rather than independently summarized. It anchors the Palacio Huerta branch and connects football penalties to a broader argument that sport can reveal strategic behavior under high stakes.
