Game Theory by Matt Devos
Offers a gentle introduction to the mathematics of both sides of game theory: combinatorial and classical. The combination allows for a dynamic and rich tour of the subject united by a common theme of strategic reasoning. With ample material and limited dependencies between the chapters, the book is adaptable to a variety of situations and a range of audiences.-

Game Theory: A Playful Introduction is exactly as the title claims: an interactive introduction to the subjectIt is a well-written text which starts with a thorough analysis of combinatorial game theory before smoothly transitioning to classical game theory...Not only is the text readable, but there are also an adequate number of exercises at the end of each chapter. These exercises are structured as a scaffold beginning with a check of basic skills and building up to challenging proofs...Overall, this text is a well-structured, well-written introduction to game theory." — Brittany Shelton, Mathematical Reviews
"The topics covered here are chosen for a broad and versatile look at the subject, the writing style is clear and enjoyable, examples are plentiful, and there is a good selection of exercises, both computational and proof-oriented...In addition to clear and engaging writing, and a good selection of exercises, this book also boasts an excellent bibliography...I have no hesitation whatsoever recommending it as a text for an introductory undergraduate course." — Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews
