Reviews

Winning Ways is an absolute must have for those who are interested in mathematical game theory. It is sure to please any fan of recreational mathematics or simply anyone who is interested in games and how to play them well. -Jacob McMillen, Math Horizons, November 2005 This new edition confirms the status of the book as a standard reference, which it will continue to be for at least another decade. -Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society , December 2005
