Then why did he ask about game design instead of game theory? How the frick am I supposed to know what he means when he says something entirely different?
I love the Kobold guides. They're just collections of essays by different people, there's no central thesis, but that just means they're all meat and no filler.
>game theory

Primer In Game Theory - by Robert Gibbons
Pretty much the beginner book in game theory.
Theorizing Games: On Game Theory
A book by the Game Theorist.
But that's just a theory. A game theory.
thanks for reading.
The Infinite Game and Starfish and the Spider are both good game theory books.
Monte Cook has written extensively about design and theory. Nice books on how not to make games
>Nice books on how not to make games
Incredibly true. Monte basically provided a reverse education for modern game designers.
just remember MAD and the prisoner's dilemma. you should be fine.
Have your read Dr. Nash's paper?
Game theory is pseudoscience that never once proved to work
What? Hell, in ML alone game theory is used pretty extensively, and ML is in fricking everything.
Or do you think Game Theory is some economics bullshit about people making choices?
I love the Kobold guides. They're just collections of essays by different people, there's no central thesis, but that just means they're all meat and no filler.
Op here, I literally meant game theory but I'll take game design resources too. I've always wanted to make a game.
