Abstract
Today, the application of game theory has been proven in many sciences.
However, for many years, many sciences such as economics, sociology, and politics
have been progressing in a less than favorable way; because according to the personal
and social situation of the players, different results can be obtained from the same game.
Meanwhile, knowing the behavior of each player and its mathematical inference requires
prerequisites, which include knowing the beliefs and culture of the society in
which he lives. Meanwhile, the value of the literary treasure of that society cannot be
ignored. Therefore, the authors of this article decided to open the way by examining
three anecdotes of Saadi’s Golestan in the form of a game.
