Reddit reviews Rock, Paper, Scissors: Game Theory in Everyday Life

John Mighton shows how you can build to an exploration of finite state automata:

I haven't come up with it yet, but I'm certain there's a cool way you could turn this into a role-playing or strategy game.

Speaking of games, what about game theory?

I haven't watched this myself but it is an intro course and it is from Yale so it is probably good basic material. I was going to check out Shiller's course sometime next week.

I also thought rock, paper, scissors was a fun fairly easy reading book.

If you're looking for advanced material you're probably better off bugging professors than reddit. Hopefully another commenter will prove me wrong :)

The book that I most strongly recommend to Grey, and like-minded Cortexans, is Rock Paper Scissors by Len Fisher. I also have a LOT of trouble getting into fiction books and I burned through this book because it's hilarious and informative. I think it totally works regardless of how much you know about the subject (I'm studying game theory and it didn't bore me in the slightest).
