Good book worth it

A really nice straight forwards cards book. Re-learned some games I hadn’t played in twenty plus years. Good purchase.

Great for travelling

Purchased this for my brother and partner who are travelling in a campervan. They have reported back that they LOVE this little book and have enjoyed many games from it! I bought it because its small and compact and doesn't take up much room! Great buy

Over complicated Jargon

This is fine for an adult with good prior knowledge of card games but pretty confusing for anyone just starting out which is who I imagine it’s aimed at. Way too tricky for my 10 year old to figure out most games. Could be simplified if less jargon was used.

Just the book to get

This would be great adults to refresh their memory of old card games they use to play. Or are looking for new games. Looking forward to my next card game.

Great book for card game rules and easy to store because it’s not too big.

This was a Birthday gift for our 10 year old Grandson who loves to play cards . This book explains the rules very simply and also shows you pictures. I would definitely recommend this book.

No useful organizing principle

Pros:- The games in this book are decent. Gin Rummy, Euchre, Old Maid, Cribbage, Canasta, Hearts, they're all in there. Not Poker or Bridge, but there are other books for those.- The entry for each individual game is well written, with appropriate cross-references. E.g. the entry for Auction Pitch starts with "Sometimes call setback, this variation of seven-up is particularly popular in the USA."Cons:The games are organised strictly alphabetically. This means that if you already know what game you want to play, but you know it by a different name (e.g. "Parliament" instead of "Card Dominoes"), you'll have trouble finding it.If you don't already know what game you want to play, especially if you'd like to learn a new one, then it's just as bad.- If you want to choose a game by the number of players, you have to read through them one by one. There are icons next to each game's name (in the book, not in the table of contents) indicating whether it's a solitaire game or not, but that's it. Oh yes, two of the forty-four games are solitaire games (Clock and Klondike, which they mistakenly compare to Freecell).- If you want to choose a game by difficulty, you have to read through them one by one. They're not organised that way. Fish, Old Maid, and War are separated, next to Euchre, Pinochle, and Whist respectively.- If you want to choose a game by type (e.g. rummy-type games, or trick-taking games), you have to read through them one by one.Finding things alphabetically is what an index is for. And if you know what a game is called, you don't need a book, you can look it up on the Internet. To be useful, a book like this one needs to have a strong organising principle, and this one doesn't.Don't buy this. There are better choices out there.
