| Summary, etc. |
Why do some games seem to be universal while others have a particular connection to the culture of the people playing them? 'Around the World in 80 Games' is about the mathematics of chance, game theory, gamification, gaming strategies and computer games. Traversing the globe, Marcus du Sautoy looks at the genesis of games new and old, explores how to invent a good game and explains the fascination of a popular lockdown game. The most simple games endure: board games, card games and dice games have captivated us for centuries and the acclaimed mathematician and author of 'The Creativity Code' (among many others) will once again bring mathematics to the fore with insight and aplomb in this work. |
