TITLE: Just starting with [combinatorial] game theory
QUESTION [10 upvotes]: I have recently become interested in game theory by way of John Conway's on Numbers and Games.  Having virtually no prior knowledge of game theory, what is the best place to start?

REPLY [4 votes]: If you have played Go, then you may enjoy Mathematical Go: Chilling Gets the Last Point by Berlekamp and Wolfe. Some go players, especially Bill Spight, have developed combinatorial game theory within go further.
