5.0 out of 5 stars Here it is ... THE book of Hoyle!, November 3, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Ainslie's Complete Hoyle: Rules, Strategies, Scoring, Bidding, Betting Systems (Hardcover)

This book was a gift for my daughter's family. Nothing like the Hoyle's book of rules when there's any confusion about game rules. Simply FUN just reading about all the games we've never heard of yet... Winter is coming, and with all the kids, family, grandkids, there is nothing like playing games on game night! How about something new?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quick Reference, July 10, 2011

Ohioan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ainslie's Complete Hoyle: Rules, Strategies, Scoring, Bidding, Betting Systems (Hardcover)

This is a good, quick reference book for learning the rules and strategy of card games. Some diagrams or illustrations would help, as for example, with Chinese Checkers -- if you don't already know this game, you might not be able to grasp the explanation without seeing a photo or diagram.
