5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, August 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Family Games (Paperback)
This is a must have title for every family. What a terrific idea! We use it all the time when playing cards, outdoor games, or just looking for something to do on family night. This book isn't just for families with children though. It is terrific for anyone who enjoys playing card or other games.
