No? It's a field of math, which are typically called theories, that studies games.
It doesn't study games, it studies competitive systems. Mathematicians chose to call competitive systems games and that was a mistake.
It studies cooperative systems too. The most specific term that covers everything in it really is Game.
And what's a concise word to describe a system in which participants make decisions within some ruleset where the interaction between each participant's decisions and the ruleset leads to determining whether each participant wins or loses?
