This is a really interesting book, with information about--and quotes from the
experts in--each discipline. Some of this is rather tongue-in-cheek, especially
about things like apple bobbing and stone skipping.
I love the "how it ends" section
for each game—most quite funny. Good
humor, but also physics, math, strategy, logic, and lots on strange tidbits. Great book if you like games as much as I do.
Oh, and thanks to this, I spent entirely too much time
alternately laughing at and being amazed by 20Q.net, the AI internet program
that can play twenty questions with you.
Go look it up.
A very strong 4.5 stars.
And just in case you can't read the subtitle, here's the whole thing: "How to Win Game and Beat People; Demolish your family and friends at over 30 classic games with advice from an international array of experts."
