Uncertainty in Games by Greg Costikyan

3.0

Decent summary of uncertainty in games. Could do with more in-depth analysis but what he says is useful. Probably completely uninteresting unless you're into game design though. Most of the book is a lot of examples of games and how uncertainty is used - I scored the book higher because there are so many examples for a short book and they're interesting and very useful if you're me or interested in the subject. Not super exciting or a must read for game designers or anything but pretty alright and of interest for highlighting a neglected but important area, even if I feel he stretches the concept of uncertainty a bit at times.
