• Optimax solution (for me)
  This is my "Goldilocks/Babybear" game theory book. Not too hard, not to soft, just right.
  Without calculus, Davis provides a complete introduction to an arcane but useful mathematical discipline. The Compleat Strategyst: Being a Primer on the Theory of Games of Strategy by Williams was too soft.
