This is such a cool article, Professor! I love the idea of "randomness [playing] a cryptographic role of concealing information". Is there a way of quantifying the security of this source of randomness in a game of perfect information (when the opponent knows the random number generator strategy in addition to your strategy). I'm guessing that knowing your opponent is getting their random numbers from a quantum process does not give you any information on their next move because it is (from my understanding) a truly random process. However, as you mentioned, knowing that your opponent is using Tippett’s Random Sampling Numbers could give you much more information to predict their next move.
Cryptographic security is much harder than it should be! If you're interested, look up the term "cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator" for the various attempts to create secure randomness.
A bit of an aside, but I think the constraint of "zero-sum" is something that doesn't map onto human behvaior/social science. Is there clean/elegant theory on cooperative non-zero sum games?
