Modular Games
by Eugene William Madison
Modular Games by Eugene W. Madison is a radical guide toward understanding and determining possibilities and success formulas in certain modular games.
Modular games are finite two-player counting games wherein a winning strategy can be discerned by examining a specific matrix based on crucial moves and values of segments through each player’s choice of moves. Modular games have predecided winners based on specific values of initial players’ moves.
Modular Games is a handy guide for delving deeper into and understanding the depths of modular games.

Modular Games eBook Eugene William Madison Madison
The modular games this book deals with are examples of games used in combinatorial game theory, or variations of Nim (not modular games of the Settlers of Catan style).There is so much potential that an author could do with this topic, but this book was disappointing. It was very limited in focus and the second half of the book is a description of a computer and board game that the author has invented that remove the perfect-information aspect of the game, thus introducing chance to the games. A search online shows the author has a webpage about his games but it is unclear whether they are available for purchase.
Too many of the arrays look like they were hand drawn and one has water-marks like the picture got blurred before being included in the book.
That said, the game inspired me to play several new games with my seven and four year old. We used physical items (like in Nim) instead of verbal counting, but my seven year old at least was able to master the winning strategies discussed in Eugene William Madison's book, and we incorporated it into a math lesson on multiples and prime numbers. I will probably show my children the playing card variations Mr. Madison describes sometimes in the near future.
