Games of Strategy

Read the most by: boys and girls

The number one game theory text - revised and improved. Games of Strategy remains the most accessible principles-level text for courses in game theory. The narrative outlines the rules of strategic thinking across a range of situations, using case studies and examples from sports, popular culture, history, politics, and everyday life. A clear, compelling introduction to game theory, Games of Strategy offers students a comprehensive view of the discipline without assuming prior knowledge of economics or complex mathematics. The Third Edition has nearly twice as many end-of-chapter exercises (contributed by new author David Reiley) and a new chapter on Mechanism Design. Solutions to half of the exercises are available on StudySpace - our free and open-access student website. The streamlined and updated narrative maintains the easy and engaging readability of the previous editions.
