In the quarter of a century since three mathematicians and game
theorists collaborated to create Winning Ways for Your Mathematical
Plays, the book has become the definitive work on the subject of
mathematical games. Now carefully revised and broken down into four
volumes to accommodate new developments, the Second Edition retains the
original's wealth of wit and wisdom. The authors' insightful strategies,
blended with their witty and irreverent style, make reading a profitable
pleasure. In Volume 2, the authors have a Change of Heart, bending the
rules established in Volume 1 to apply them to games such as Cut-cake
and Loopy Hackenbush. From the Table of Contents: - If You Can't Beat
'Em, Join 'Em! - Hot Bottles Followed by Cold Wars - Games Infinite and
Indefinite - Games Eternal--Games Entailed - Survival in the Lost World
