Why do some games seem to be universal while others have a
particular connection to the culture of the people playing them?
Around the World in 80 Games is about the mathematics of chance,
game theory, gamification, gaming strategies and computer games.
Traversing the globe, Marcus du Sautoy looks at the genesis of
games new and old, explores how to invent a good game and explains
the fascination of a popular lockdown game. From the secrets of
whist to hopscotch, Scrabble to Wordle. The most simple games
endure: board games, card games and dice games have captivated us
for centuries and the acclaimed mathematician and author of The
Creativity Code (among many others) will once again bring
mathematics to the fore with insight and aplomb in Around the World
in 80 Games.
