| Summary, etc. | Combinatorial games are the strategy games that people like to play, for example chess, Hex, and Go. They differ from economic games in that there are two players who play alternately with no hidden cards and no dice. These games have a mathematical structure that allows players to analyse them in the abstract. Games of No Chance 4 contains the first comprehensive explorations of misère (last player to move loses) games, extends the theory for some classes of normal-play (last player to move wins) games and extends the analysis for some specific games. It includes a tutorial for the very successful approach to analysing misère impartial games and the first attempt at using it for misère partisan games. Hex and Go are featured, as well as new games: Toppling Dominoes and Maze. Updated versions of Unsolved Problems in Combinatorial Game Theory and the Combinatorial Games Bibliography complete the volume.<br/><br/>Includes a tutorial for the misère quotient approach to misère impartial games<br/>Introduces a misère quotient approach for misère partizan games<br/>Features new techniques used for analysing games<br/><br/>https://www.cambridge.org/in/universitypress/subjects/mathematics/discrete-mathematics-information-theory-and-coding/games-no-chance-4?format=HB&isbn=9781107011038 |
