what's the differences among those game books
The third book is for those with some interests in game theory, but almost no idea about what microeconomics is. It is pretty pretty simple, and (at least for me) has little to be discussed.
Fun and Games, and Playing for Real are two textbooks for undergraduate game theory course, which means they both lack mathematical rigor. Fun and Gmaes was written more than 20 years ago, and used to be one of the dominants of undergrad textbook market. Math students might think this book is easy and want to try some more advanced materials. Also, imperfect information is not covered in this book. Playing for Real serves as the same level of Fun and Games , but is up-to-date. Both books are joyful.
The rest two books are more advanced but not good textbook choices for class. In Natural Justice, Binmore showed his broad knowledge in history, philosophy, etc. The book lays out foundations for a ' science of morals' and investigates ethnical matters. A good reference for evolutionary behavorial science. I donot know much about the fifth book, and here is a quote " this volume brings together all of Ken Binmore's influential experimental papers on bargaining along with newly written commentary in which Binmore discusses the underlying game theory and addresses the criticism leveled atItby behavioral economists."
You will sure get a lot more info if you read them yourself. Have fun!
