Games are supposed to be fun-but everyone knows that it’s more fun when you win, especially when you crush your friends and family.
In HOW TO WIN GAMES AND BEAT PEOPLE, science editor for The Times Tom Whipple gathers inside tips, strategy, and advice from a ridiculously overqualified array of experts on how to come out victorious in a wide range of common family games, board games, and more.
A mathematician explains how to approach Connect 4; a racecar driver advises on how to take corners in slot car racing; a mime shares trade secrets for the best Charades; a scrabble champion reveals his strategies; and a game theorist recommends the right Monopoly properties to buy in order to bankrupt and embarrass your competitors.
Funny, smart, and endlessly useful, this is a must read for anyone who takes games too seriously, and the bible for sore losers everywhere.
