Best family book ever!

This is the best book a family can have! We use this book more than our dictionary! Whether I am spending time with my pre teen kids or my toddler nephews this book offers us something fun and easy to do. All the classic games, indoor and out are in here - it is a great reminder to see them again, and learn new ones as well. All of the directions are easy to follow. Buy this book and start having fun!

Unplugged fun

This book is quite a treasury of entertaining games, clearly and simply explained. Card games, word games, solo or group...they're all there. Everyone's getting this for Xmas from me. A perfect guide to social fun and creativity of play. Chuck the electronic toys and happy times will be yours.

Big Book of Rules

Finally a great "rule" book that has it all. User friendly and great layout. Now when the family gets together we will not waste time and energy disagreeing on how a game is to be played, especially when the instructiuons have been misplaced. I am giving a copy to each of my kids and to friends to enjoy with their families.

The Best Book on the Subject

The BBO Rules is fabulous! Not only do you get the most comprehensive book on the subject ever, the writing is clear, concise, and fun to read. Bits of historic information and trivia are included as well. This is the perfect gift for at least 3 people on my holiday list.

A new game in town

What a great book! My family & friends sat right down and played a round of Charades, then some of the word games. We laughed so hard, our faces hurt from smiling so much. It's wonderful to see the old games we'd forgotten about, and we can't wait to try some new ones. We're definitely taking it on our next car trip and I plan on buying one for every family we know for Christmas. A real find. I heartliy recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun.
