Wanna Make a Game?
Are you familiar with the PAPI model? (Players, Actions, Payoffs and Information, by the way.) Do you understand what equilibrium means to a game design?This book is a good introduction to those who are looking for a background in game theory, as well as those interested in problem-solving domains of applied logic.

Eric Rasmusen is a homophobe and an ignorant one at that.
Eric Rasmusen is the individual who posted homophobic comments on his Indiana University hosted web site. Do not buy from this book. Buying his book supports hate.

A good introduction for game theory students
This is a good text for game theory students. Concise and well structured, it gives sufficient details to provide a good understanding of the subject. The math is easy to follow although the choice of words may sometimes be inappropriate resulting in a logical jump, but that is well compensated by the content. There are some typo mistakes which should be corrected by the next edition. The author tries to moderate the math with logical explanantions and does it with reasonable success although some sections can still be improved. The section on bargaining, for example, is poorly explained. Overall, a good text for teaching. Similar Products
