The Game Changers

I love gaming and have been gaming on and off since the mid-70s (chess) and have recently returned to playing solo board games and as part of this I’ve always loved a good book about games and the history of games.

In this book Tim looks at various games from the oldest to some of the newest and looks at how each has been part of society and influenced other game development travelling the world to show the universality of the need to game.

He also looks at how games influence people and groups and how people interact in these groups and it is this honest look at the sociological importance of games both at a group and individual level that really appealed to me about this book.

Full of humour and information this is a brilliant read from start to finish and I loved every moment of it.

Tim also ends with a very personal revelation that he hints at throughout the book so it came as no big surprise but shows a great deal of honesty and integrity.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
