  In the standard approach to quantum games, players' moves are local unitary
transformations on an entangled state that is subsequently measured. Players'
payoffs are then obtained as expected values of the entries in the payoff
matrix of the classical game on a set of quantum probabilities obtained from
the quantum measurement. In this paper, we approach quantum games from a
diametrically opposite perspective. We consider a classical three-player
symmetric game along with a known expression for a set of quantum probabilities
relevant to a tripartite Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiment that depends
on three players' directional choices in the experiment. We define the players'
moves as their directional choices in an EPR setting and then express their
payoff relations in the resulting quantum game in terms of their directional
choices, the entries of the payoff matrix, and the quantum probability
distribution relevant to the tripartite EPR experiment.
