Reception
Steve Jackson reviewed The Playboy Winner's Guide to Board Games in The Space Gamer No. 44.[1] Jackson commented that "This is a definite 'go' if you don't confine yourself to wargames. The more restricted the spectrum of games you play, the less likely it is you'll find it worthwhile. Conversely, if you play everything you can find, you'll like the book."[1]
