A good introduction in game theory
By Peter
I use this book as a part of advanced ug micro component at one of the UK universities. The book uses a clear concept-building approach with examples. I give B/F four stars since the fifth star is yet to be earned in subsequent editions. Why? There are simply far too many mistakes left in this edition. Which cannot be tolerated when game theory is the subject of discussion. Just try to work through examples involving perfect Bayesian equilibria. Your solution just won’t match the one provided in the text. And it turns out it is not you who is stupid. The game tree has a wrong payoff at one of the terminal nodes. ))

Great ideas, poor execution
By a professor
I like this book and would happily use it for advanced undergrad courses due to the number of practical economic examples. However, there are so many mathematical errors that it is just too frustrating for both students and professors.

Basic concepts in the simplest way
By M.E.Nik
I am quite satisfied with this book.
I have tried numerous books which deal with economic applications of Game Theory, but I believe that this book describes the basic concepts in simplest way! Specifically, the concept of Information asymmetry and Signaling games.
