The first time I heard of game theory I though it was a study of what makes games fun, why we consider some things games at all, etc. Turns out game theory isn’t that, does anyone know a theory or book that is that?

A Theory of Fun and The Art of Game Design both contain great discussions of these questions.
+1 to both of these recommendations, especially A Theory of Fun. This lecture on puzzle design gets into it too. Eureka moments!
