Ask HN: Recommend book on Game Theory?

I was watching a documentary that prompted me to read John Nash's thesis, "Non-Coperative Games"[0]

I searched the web for applications of game theory in Architecture (my formal training) & found some research that interested me[1]

My background is mostly in design, is there a "go-to" book that you recommend which may be easier going on people with a less solid Math background like me?

I found the following two to be very helpful, but not related to architect (sorry)

The Teaching Company audiobook or video https://www.amazon.com/Games-People-Play-Theory-Business/dp/...

The Art of Strategy: A Game Theorist's Guide to Success in Business and Life https://www.amazon.com/Art-Strategy-Theorists-Success-Busine...

The Art Of Strategy is co-authored by Barry J. Nalebuff who also has a great Coursera course on Negotiation (unrelated to your question) https://www.coursera.org/learn/negotiation
