Customer Reviews

Perfect beginner's book

Although written primarily for children, this is the ideal book for anyone who wants the basics of common card and board games: simple directions, clear illustrations, and just enough historical information. For non-kids: great for brushing up and getting some good tips. Highlyrecommended.
