Pressezitat
'With the lightest of touches du Sautoy manages persuasively to show how games are both narratives that speak about us and structures whose ideas underlie everything in our known universe. And on top of it, the book serves as an absolutely indispensable compendium. Rainy weekends in Cornwall will now be welcomed' Stephen Fry 'A delightful and addictive celebration of games. You'll keeping wanting one more go' Dara Ó Briain
'Whether your game is Go, Dungeons and Dragons, or Chocolate Chilli Roulette, you'll find this book adorable. It's lively, creative and humane - exactly as one would expect from Marcus du Sautoy' Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up
'The book encapsulates the very essence of human ingenuity and our intrinsic love for play and exploration. You do not need to be a seasoned player nor a skilled mathematician to relish this enchanting read. However, this book may just encourage you to become the one or the other' Reiner Knizia, award-winning game designer
