The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible is the most comprehensive book available for the Logic Games section of the LSAT. The intent of this book is to provide you with an advanced system for attacking any game you encounter on the LSAT. This same system is covered in the live classes taught by PowerScore, and all of the methods and techniques discussed in the book have been tested in classroom situations over many years.
The book features and explains a detailed methodology for attacking the games section. All aspects of Logic Games are covered, from recognizing game types to diagramming rules to making inferences and answering questions. Entire chapters are devoted to the most advanced game techniques and to time management strategies.
Logic Games are divided into individual types, and a discussion follows that teaches you how to approach each type of Game, and drills are presented to help you apply and understand the techniques. Thereafter, real LSAT logic games are used to illustrate how the techniques apply to real tests. Using real LSAT questions is a must for high-level LSAT preparation, and twenty-one real LSAT logic games are contained in the book. Each logic game is accompanied by a detailed analysis of the game setup and related questions.
The author has over 12 years experience teaching the LSAT and has scored in the 99th percentile on a Law Services-administered test. An expert in LSAT preparation, he has overseen the preparation of thousands of students and founded two national LSAT preparation companies.
The Logic Games Bible can be supplemented by The Ultimate Set-Ups Guide, which features setups for every game in each released LSAT from 1995 to 2002. Also, both books provide access to a unique website for additional LSAT and Logic Games information, and has answers to frequently asked questions.

Customer Reviews
Definitely an LSAT prep must have
Like their Logical Reasoning Bible, what I liked about this book is that it is like having a tutor sitting next to you explaining how to go about things. I've gone through many other logic games books and this one still ranks to me as #1 because of that.
The book is great for breadth of material as well as depth. Definitely comprehensive.
The book tells you the typical kinds of inferences you should be looking for immediately after processing the rules. Lots of tips and tricks to be found in this book. All taught using real LSAT questions. I found their selection of games to be quite representative as well.
If you are only going to get one logic games book, this is the one.
Buy New & Revised Edition (almost twice as long w/corrections and new techniques)
I've purchased every available logic games how-to book. The best two are "ACE the LSAT Logic Games" by Get Prepped, and the Revised & Updated LSAT Logic Games Bible (just came out in 2008, and covers games up to September 2007). Both of these texts teach students to diagram. I would say the Get Prepped book teaches you how to diagram more quickly, but that the Logic Games Bible offers beginners more theoretial step-by-step explanations about how to make inferences. A critic of the first edition of the LSAT Logic Games was correct in stating that many of the techniques taught in the LSAT Logic Games Bible took too long to apply during the actual test. I just got my hands on the Revised and Updated 2008 edition, and see Powersoore has taken customers' criticisms seriously, and have come up with faster ways to diagram. Many of the reviews lauding any of these texts were written by people who have not yet taken the test. As a past test-taker who attended law school a long time ago (1990) and wishes to return, I can say these logic games prep books together are much better than the expensive Stanley Kaplan course I took back in 1990. I would caution against just going through the books and expecting to be prepared. Yes, the techniques should become second-nature, but this can't be done abstractly. One must study both books carefully, then practice on real LSATs under timed conditions. Let's read some reviews by people who've actually taken the LSATs after using this book. Although I am ranking the first edition as a "2" I see that the second edition (revised and updated) is much improved and expanded, and recommend buying it as well as the Get Prepped book, Ace the LSAT Logic Games. I also bought the flashcards by powerscore, but find I am learning a lot by preparing my own flashcards while going through the practice/learning games in the Get Prepped book. I've gotten all the problems correct in the last two games I've taken after I started making my own flashcards, where I jot down distinct test-taking techniques for diagramming and making inferences.
Great Resource
This book is a terrific way to boost your ability to handle the logic games on the LSAT. The strategies in this book are far more effective than the strategies in the Kaplan review.
