- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025"Loved" condition, has that old-book smell. All pages intact, barely any markings on pages, great value. Love a hard cover book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024This is one of the most important self help books ever published. Life is not a game, but game theory can be very useful in living one’s life by analyzing peoples behavior and helping one to avoid exploitative, self-destructive, or abusive behavior.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012Product was shipped promptly and book was in good shape. I would recommend this seller. This is a great book in helping to learn the mind games we play with our partners, our work, and how to control our inner feelings when others intrude and games we may inadvertenly play to control others, which will in turn cause pain and resentment.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018EXCELLENT. GOOD INFO👍
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015Excellent book for learning how to understand people.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2004As a consultant to large businesses, I have noticed that people play perfectly predictable games (what they may refer to as 'tactics'), and are astounded that I can predict their next move as well as their ultimate goal -- no matter how they attempt to disguise it.
They are at a decided disadvantage since Games People Play went out of circulation not long after Dr. Eric Berne died. Get this book now, especially if you are working your way up into management, or someone else will succeed in playing NIGYYSOB on you, and you will wonder why your upward mobility hit an invisible ceiling.
You stand no chance against me in a group if you have not read this book. I will know your next move before you do.
