Books

Books: we wrote so many! Lots of handbooks, of course, but also essays, riddles/puzzles collections, mental challenges, mathematical wanderings, explorations of the gambling world... and even a smidge of narrative.
Il grande libro del Poker is still our best-seller, though.
Here studiogiochi’s books catalogue, those we wrote ourselves, and those written in collaborations with some of our playing partners.
