### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fun way to learn
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2022*

Books like this are excellent guidelines on how education could be done in an engaging and effective manner. Instead of going into a quagmire of dense mathematical calculations, formulae and definitions the author manages to depict his subject as something very interesting and recognizable.The only potential downside is the lack of any advice or instruction about how to use the information in a more proactive way when dealing with certain situations, but it doesn't diminish the value of both the material and the writer's presentation skills.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting but frustrating
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2022*

Despite the author's efforts to explain game theory in language that non-mathematicians will understand, all too frequently,  he ended sections with questions that those of us who are "lesser players" in math have little to no hope of answering. If the answers (and their explanations) were provided in an appendix, that would be fun. As it is, it's simply frustrating.But the book does do a very good job of explaining that the strategies people choose in the real world are a lot more complicated than any amount of math can explain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A wonderful first look at Game Theory
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2018*

This short book provides a brisk but wide-ranging first look at Game Theory via numerous examples and fairly minimal mathematics.  It is very clearly written, and includes both the best-known examples (Prisoners' Dilemma, Ultimatum Game) and concepts (Nash Equilibria) and many less standard games, though often without going into much depth.  So I can highly recommend it as a "first look" at the subject.Does this style of "made up stories involving settings with simple explicit rules" actually help everyday life?  Wise to be skeptical.  More serious is the point that pretty much any observed behavior can be "explained" as rational within some invented game -- and a theory that explains everything explains nothing.One quibble: the oft-repeated story "dozens of her neighbors witnessed the murder of Catherine Genovese" is essentially false (see Wikipedia).
