Topic: Extensive form games, how to formalize information sets?

(Those who lurk in Coq zulip chat too, hi! I'm from there. Greetings and best wishes to Lean zulip chat! :smile:)
Ok, to the question - is there some formalization of extensive form games with information sets in Lean?
Thank you!

Karl Palmskog in the Coq zulip chat gave me link to his repository which contained some interesting formalization of game theory, but without information sets (as far as I could tell): https://github.com/palmskog/DependentTypesForExtensiveGames
Also, Wikipedia has section "Formal definition": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensive-form_game#Formal_definition
Maybe this is useful.

Hello! I think that this doesn't exist yet in Lean.

This is my try which I'm proud about. :sweat_smile: Beginner's happiness. :grinning:
Of course, I still need to formalize strategies of players etc., for this to have any use.
Anyway, if there are any mistakes, please tell me. And, if you want, suggestions of better ways how to formalize this are welcome.
