Format: Paperback

  • Highly recommend to learn games or new ones!
Format: Paperback
Purchased this for a young couple in my family as a present and paired it with some collegiate cards. They loved it and we started using right away and played different games throughout the night. They have used it often with small parties to help learn new games! The product is well organized and easy to understand and used! Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Great card game book
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my grandson because he loves playing cards. The book is awesome and goes into detail about each game. Said it was approximate for his age but he didn't understand it

  • Checked out so often from the library we needed to buy it
Format: Paperback
We are a big card game/board game family, and this is by far the best book for card games that we've found. Glad to have it in our personal library now!

  • Not easy to use
Format: Paperback
Terrible index. You have to search for the game you want to learn.

  • Excellent
Format: Paperback
I loved that this has pictures for ease of understanding. I also got an encyclopedia for card games. That was a waste. I don’t want to have to read a whole book on how to play.
