Format:Paperback
This is perhaps the best text that is out there on game theory, at least for undergraduates. It's a short text, which is written in an easily understood way, which is highly coherent. There is a lot of mathematics, but is explained thoroughly, so should be easy to follow.
The best feature of this book is the many game theoretic applications that are provided. This games are particular useful when applied to both Microeconomic and Macroeconomic theory, so this book has a lot to offer.

This book is a very logical, systematic introduction to game theory. It is focussed on economics, so should be ideal for economics undergrads. There is a little mathematics background assumed (school level calculus should suffice), but the mathematics is sometimes omitted entirely, which can make the text difficult to follow. So, overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this book.
Format:Paperback
Gibbon's text is sufficiently formal to provide genuine understanding and a basis for further expansion. It is also concise, a blessing in any such treatise. This would be an excellent resource for anyone taking exams which include game theory. Examples from the wider literature of the theory covered in the text are brought in and illustrated, which is particularly useful. For a complete introduction I'd suggest pairing reading of this book with the video lecture series by Ben Polak of Yale, available on YouTube.
