Games can teach us a lot about life, the universe, and ourselves. They involve chance, choice, competition, innovation, randomness, memory, stand-offs, and paradoxes, which designers manipulate to make a game interesting, fun, and addictive. They also provide a fascinating way for us to explore our world and understand how our minds tick, our numbers add up, and our laws of physics work.
This book tackles the big questions of life through the little questions of games. With short chapters on everything from memory games to the Prisoner's Dilemma, to Goedel's theorems, GameTek is fascinating reading for anyone who wants to explore the world from a new perspective. It is also a must-read book for serious designers and players.
Math, physics, psychology, and all the other stuff you didn't even realize you were using while playing board games! Dr. E has opened the door to the game under the game in fascinating, fun detail. Now you have NO reason to ever lose again! Rock!
