Customer Reviews

A wise purchase

Playing cards gets people away from TV and is FUN, especially when you seek new games in this collection of easy and detailed directions for card games for all levels. I am 90, was stuck with plain Solitaire until I read about Canfield. Now I play nothing else when alone.

Good Info, but you can get it for free online.

You can find the exact same infomation on the Us Playing Card website. While the coverage is pretty good, it's hard to pay for what you can get for free. Pagat also has much of the same material on their website.

Very Thorough

This book of card game rules is extremely thorough. It lists every possible version of every card game you've ever heard of. It is easy to use and easy to understand. I was looking for a book with just the basics so we don't argue about the rules every time we play, but this has much much more but still manages to be relativly small and lightweight.
