It kept repeating itself, and didn't worry about making sense.

Also, while it talked a lot about what people would like to do, it never indicated how they would get there and for the most part I think the answer is "it's pure dumbshit luck" Feb 18, Anthony O'Connor rated it really liked it. Lots of detailed examples Reading this book means going through a long list of examples in great detail.

And this is a good thing. But a little more by way of theoretical explanation and ideas would also have been nice. Not enough by itself to really get it. But still worth well worth a quick read. Jun 05, Byron marked it as to-read. I want to read this book. May 20, Sope Williamson rated it liked it. I think i might go over this book again, kudos t0 the writer for the easy to understand style of writing. Mar 23, Miguel rated it liked it. Game Theory is, as reflected in the title, a basic introduction to Game Theory which addresses its core concepts.

This book, however, becomes more computationally heavy about halfway through when it begins to address Mixed Strategies. Still, the math is fairly basic and the book does a great job of explaining Strict and Weak Dominance and how different Pure and Mixed Strategies should be selected and how to "solve" games.

Spaniel also does a great job of addressing critics of Game Theory, ex Game Theory is, as reflected in the title, a basic introduction to Game Theory which addresses its core concepts. Spaniel also does a great job of addressing critics of Game Theory, explaining how games should be tailored to their participants preferences to create the game that most accurately reproduces reality. Mar 10, Arun rated it liked it. Touches upon the Stag hunt, penny game, battle of sexes, chicken game, Nash equilibrium and other strategies to use to solve the issue.

Started getting repetitive or rather bland towards the end.. Overall, not bad though.
