There are just a few technique video games with a big printed literature expounding the “concept” or superior methods of the sport. Go, chess (and associated video games equivalent to Chinese language chess and shogi), bridge, poker, and blackjack come to thoughts. I do know of a few different video games with a smaller literature, equivalent to checkers, backgammon, and Scrabble, and some extra video games about which only one or two notable “concept” books appear to have been written, equivalent to Othello, Hex, Join 4, Dots and Bins, and 9 Males’s Morris.
Are there different video games with a small however substantive quantity of printed concept? To set some parameters, I am solely in video games for which there exists a minimum of one full-length ebook devoted completely (or nearly completely) to superior methods for the sport. So for instance, for Monopoly, I am solely conscious of The Monopoly Guide by Maxine Brady, which does not fairly meet the edge I am searching for, as a result of it devotes a whole lot of area to historical past and primary rationalization of the foundations, and doesn’t delve that deeply into superior technique (but when there are different, extra superior books on Monopoly, then I would love to listen to about them).
