This user-friendly and visually appealing book offers a collection of board games of strategy — some old, most very recent. None involve chance or hidden information. Perfect for anyone who enjoys an intellectual challenge, these are chiefly new diversions that were chosen by the authors for their strategic and tactical qualities. Contents include sections on games for two and three players, plus a chapter dedicated to mathematical games (including Nim and games on graphs). Additional chapters discuss the theory and history of board games. Numerous diagrams throughout the book clarify the text, and a helpful glossary offers clarifications of rules.

Fun collection of games
This is a fun collection of games. Print out the boards from the author's web site, use counting chips or coins as pieces and you have over a dozen strategy games that can keep you occupied for a very long time.I have the paperback version, not the kindle version.

Excellent for Learning
I use this book when I'm trying to learn a new programming language. Makes for a great conversation, too, when you're bored and only have a piece of paper and a pencil. Teaching someone Semaphore or figuring out tricks really helps with logical thinking.

Un peu décevant
Ce livre reprend des jeux assez connus et en ajoute qquns issus des auteurs.Néanmoins, rien de très folichon mais qques idées à ne pas oublier.Néanmoins, les néophytes y trouveront de la matière.
