20 reviews for Around the World in 80 Games

  1. Priyanshu Sharma –

    Loved the global perspective! Some games were unfamiliar, which was a plus. Could have used more visuals.

  2. Vaishnavi Sanjay Bhandari –

    A fun and informative read! Learned a lot and was entertained along the way.

  3. Anuj Sahu –

    I expected more depth. It felt more like a survey than an in-depth analysis. Somewhat superficial.

  4. Simran Khurana –

    A fun concept, but some of the math got a bit dense. Still, a fascinating look at the games we love.

  5. Suzal Raj –

    Good concept, but felt a bit repetitive at times. Not sure I learned anything profoundly new, still a decent read.

  6. Shahbaaz Khan –

    A fascinating journey through the world of games. The author’s passion shines through on every page.

  7. Harsh Singh –

    Enjoyed learning about the history and math behind popular games. Some explanations were overly complicated though.

  8. Thangbiaklian Nunthuk –

    Not bad, but not great. Worth a read if you are bored, I guess. I found it repetitive and predictable.

  9. Karan Shaileshbhai Shah –

    A great gift for anyone interested in games and math. Well-written and easy to understand, for the most part.

  10. Rishabh Singh –

    Interesting idea, but I found it a bit dry. Not the most engaging read, even for a game enthusiast.

  11. Venkata Pratik Theegala –

    This book opened my eyes to the hidden mathematical structures in games. I’ll never play the same way again!

  12. Amaan Iqbal –

    Disappointing. Expected more insights and less technical jargon. Hard to follow if you are not from math background

  13. Sabhya Gupta –

    As a math geek, I devoured this book. A few games felt like a stretch, but overall, highly recommended.

  14. Vanshika Yadav –

    A unique and thought-provoking book. I never realized how much math is involved in games! Definitely worth reading.

  15. Sameer Gaind –

    Really enjoyed the book! Never realised how much math lies behind the many games! Great insight!

  16. Prashik Sheshrao Wankhade –

    Informative, but the author really assumes the reader has good knowledge in Maths. Some games felt very niche.

  17. Aman Menath –

    I was hoping for more practical applications of the math, rather than a historical overview. Still interesting.

  18. Prabhu Mehrotra –

    This book is a game-changer! (pun intended). So fascinating to see the math behind so many popular games.

  19. Vipin Arora –

    The author’s writing style kept me engaged. A perfect blend of history, math, and gaming. I loved it!

  20. Debjyoti Paul –

    A wonderful exploration of games from around the world! Great for math enthusiasts and game lovers.
