Since I took it in an OR program rather than in an economics program, our math was probably a bit more complex and our social theory a bit more simplistic but less naive. One thing I recall game theory being good for is thinking about different notions of power -- mostly Weberian (i.e. interpersonal) notions, mind you, but power nonetheless.
