Long description:

Mathematics of Tabletop Games provides a bridge between mathematics and hobby tabletop gaming. Instead of focusing on games mathematicians play, such as nim and chomp, this book starts with the tabletop games played by avid gamers and hopes to address the question: which field of mathematics concerns itself with this situation?


Readers interested in either mathematics or tabletop games will find this book an engaging way to begin exploring the other topic or the connection between the topics.
