The great board game revolution is here What do these games tell us about our society our relationships and ourselves Games Jonathan Kay and Joan Moriarity show in this lively and insightful book are not just fun and games they allow us to explore the complexities of the world from evolution to war to climate. STEVEN PINKER Johnstone Professor of Psychology Harvard University and author of Enlightenment Now The Case for Reason Science Humanism and Progress Kay and Moriarity are both skilled writers and elucidators and their voices are distinct enough to provide the book with a pleasing yin and yang. Its a far more perceptive and intriguing book than it appears at first blush particularly for those readers who have never thought of games as an artistic medium at least not one that comments on society.
