More stuff, less fluff,
By Yeshua's Follower (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Complete Hoyle: The Authoritative Guide to the Official Rules of All Popular Games of Skill and Chance, Revised Edition (Hardcover)
This is, far and away, the best "Hoyle" book of games I have---and I have quite a few. Rather than fill empty space with irrelevant pictures or wasted space, this two-inch plus thick tome gives you the information you need to play the game in an easy to follow and easy to read format. If I'm reading another "Hoyle" book and find an ambiguity, I ultimately pull this book out to resolve the issue. It's also filled with interesting historical information on the various games, and conveniently lumps the various games together by family: Poker; Rummy (including Gin Rummy and Canasta); Whist (including Bridge); Euchre (including Five Hundred); Hearts; Stops (including Crazy Eights); All Fours (a.k.a. High-Low-Jack); Bezique (including Pinochle); and Miscellaneous (including Skat, Cribbage, and Piquet). There are then separate sections of Patience (Solitaire) games, children's card games, social gambling games, dice games, casino gambling games, tile games (including dominoes and Mah Jong), board games (such as chess, backgammon, and checkers), and parlor games. A must-have for the family that prefers each other's company over the cold blue glow of a flickering television set.

Terrific Tome for Card and Board Games,

This review is from: The New Complete Hoyle: The Authoritative Guide to the Official Rules of All Popular Games of Skill and Chance, Revised Edition (Hardcover)
More lurid books have I read,
but that goes better unsaid. But still, just the same, these rules of the game is complete from alpha to zed. Stop arguments with your family. Checkers really does have rules. Learn if you must jump the other guy, if you must move the piece you touch, and precisely when a red queen can be placed on a black king. No one who plays games should be without "The New Complete Hoyle Revised." It was great 300 years ago (so I'm told) and is great now. Anthony Trendl editor, HungarianBookstore.com
