3-4 years ago I watched the Ben Polak/Yale Game Theory course on Youtube, very well explained, and it was a great refresher for me https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6EF60E1027E1A10B

Not exactly an "online course", but these notes (used for an undergrad course on games) I found quite readable:

Unfortunately, "Game Theory" is a huge field. If you want to limit things down to just "Algorithmic Game Theory" there are tons of courses and resources out there...

I can recommend the book 'A Course in Game Theory' by Ariel Rubinstein and Martin J. Osborne . You'll probably need some mathematical and economic background knowledge to gain the most out of it. Note that it is more abstract than illustrative though it is aimed at a beginner in Game Theory.
The book ist free to download after a simple registration at http://arielrubinstein.tau.ac.il/books.html

#7some cool subtopics-
matching theory: how to match kidney donors with patients? how to match kids with public schools?
social choice theory: how does the voting mechanism affect the outcome? how much weight should different parties have? how can voting mechanisms be "gamed"?

#8SEP is a wonderful online resource for philosophy. You can easily get lost browsing articles for hours if you're not careful!

I don't know about best, but there are a couple of MOOCs on coursera titled "Competitive strategy" and "Advanced competitive strategy" by Tobias Kretschmer of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. They deal with with game theory from a business point of view and are pretty good starting point.

That's a good book, but a bit advanced. A little bit easier is Osborne's Introduction to Game Theory.
On the heavier side, Game Theory by Tirole and Fudenberg is used in a lot of graduate economics programs.
