| | The Player of Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Player of Games is considered by some the most immediately accessible of the Culture books, and therefore perhaps an easier introduction to the sequence than the earlier Consider Phlebas. | | | A brilliant, though decadent, game player (Gurgeh) from the Culture is entrapped and blackmailed to work as a Special Circumstances agent in the brutal Empire of Azad. | | | The Player of Games is a science fiction novel by Scottish writer Iain M. Banks, first published in 1988. |

| | Single-Player Games |
| | Most players try to optimize the result of the game by employing good strategies. | | | But other players are not always available if you need them, which led to the invention of single-player games. | | | After all, these games are mostly used to waste time, and playing randomly achieves this goal as well as any other strategy. |

| | The Player of Games (John's Book Pages) |
| | The Player of Games is about Jernau Gurgeh, one of the Culture's best game players. | | | The idea is that the game is so difficult that to excel at it one must have the same skills that would allow one to excel in real life. | | | I liked many things about The Player of Games; it's great SF and contains a lot of Banks' trademark humor. |

| | VIKTORY: A Fast-Paced Game of Strategy and Conquest |
| | The player elimination factor is a strong deterrant to some gamers, but is only applicable in 3-4 player games, and usually once a player gets eliminated the game comes to a conclusion fairly quickly. | | | I greatly enjoyed the game, especially the speed at which a game could be completed and the fact that we were able to play two completely different games without even changing the tile layout. | | | As far as the game play very very interesting and fun with the different board set ups this should be a well played game for many years. |

| | Citebase - Three-player impartial games |
| | By limiting ourselves to this more modest theoretical objective, and by regarding two games as being equivalent if they are interchangeable in all disjunctive sums,as far as single-player winnability is concerned, we can obtain an interesting analogue of Grundy values for three-player impartial games. | | | Past efforts to classify impartial three-player combinatorial games (the theories of Li and Straffin) have made various restrictive assumptions about the rationality of one's opponents and the formation and behavior of coalitions. | | | One may instead adopt an agnostic attitude towards such issues, and seek only to understand in what circumstances one player has a winning strategy against the combined forces of the other two. |
