Contents
editThe Playboy Winner's Guide to Board Games is a book of tips on strategies for how to win board games. The book consists of 11 chapters, with the first seven chapters discussing a variety of different kinds of board games, while the final chapter goes into detail on role-playing games.[1] This book is one of a few that covered a large number of proprietary board games, rather than just traditional board games.
Reception
editSteve Jackson reviewed The Playboy Winner's Guide to Board Games in The Space Gamer No. 44.[1] Jackson commented that "This is a definite 'go' if you don't confine yourself to wargames. The more restricted the spectrum of games you play, the less likely it is you'll find it worthwhile. Conversely, if you play everything you can find, you'll like the book."[1]
