"Game theory is an amazing tool to analyze decisions, and Rohit's book, 'A Case-Based Approach to Game Theory' which brings out this decision-making aspect so clearly, is a welcome addition indeed. By using diverse examples, Rohit allows the reader to understand the theory from multiple perspectives. In a typical game theory book it is easy to get into the nitty gritties of mathematics while losing sight of the big picture. By eschewing maths, and yet, bringing out all nuances, Rohit does a fantastic job!"                - Prof. Viswanath (Vishy) Pingali , Professor of Economics, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, India
