Great book to introductory game theory with a wide variety of games, easily understood through game breakdown/walkthrough. Interesting to see how everyday events can be quantified to achieve the most desirable outcome.

The examples are certainly laboriously worked over. It gets a bit “skip to the end” in places. But this does seem to be an effective technique for my brain at least. I did a course on game theory at university many years ago but this book has left me with a clearer idea of what it’s about.

Well written book. Good introduction. Easy to follow. Great price.
Let’s just look up Snowdrift Game in the index, I want to check something…Oh..There’s no index 🙁
No index…in a text book …Seriously? How long does it take to create an index for a 250 page book (presumably) written on a computer.
It’s a real shame. It’s a great book and I like the “getting stuck straight in there” approach. It would be 5 stars with this omission fixed.

I did the Game Theory course many year ago this was the course book I wanted to go back and reread stuff I had missed. Very good lots of example’s .

Not for me.

I am a complete lay-man with an interest in maths. I thought it was very clear and escalated nicely! I could have done with it being longer, but can’t really fault it. I would also have liked some exercises or questions which I could have thought through myself. Instead I had to half fake these from the examples (of which there are plenty!)

Fantastic introduction to game theory! Examples are simply and elegantly explained, providing insight into the economics of decision making. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in human behavioural economics, or those requiring an introduction to game theory.

I wish I could personally thank the author for writing the most easy to understand book on Game Theory. This book is a lifesaver.
