Math Games with Bad Drawings: 75 1/4 Simple, Challenging, Go-Anywhere Games And Why They Matter by Ben Orlin is a playful nonfiction collection of mathematical games for classrooms, families, and curious adults. Orlin, known for explaining mathematics through humor and deliberately crude illustrations, gathers more than seventy paper-and-pencil, coin, dice, and conversation-based games that can be learned quickly but reward repeated play. The book belongs to the intersection of recreational mathematics, educational resource, and game compendium. Its purpose is not simply to list rules. Each game is paired with commentary that explains what kind of mathematical thinking it encourages, such as spatial reasoning, probability, strategic planning, pattern recognition, or logical inference. Games such as Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe, Sprouts, Battleship, Dots and Boxes, and Quantum Go Fish show how simple constraints can create rich decisions. The result is a practical guide to experiencing mathematics as play rather than as isolated calculation.
