5.0 out of 5 stars a great buy, December 4, 2006

Doc Dave "Doc Dave" (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hoyle's Rules of Games, Third Revised and Updated Edition (Paperback)

I bought this book because, although I love card games, I play pretty infrequently and often forget the rules. This book contains rules and generally clear descriptions of play for an incredibly long list of games. In addition to card games, the book covers many board games, such as Scrabble and chess, and even a few computer games. There is no question that there are books that cover individual games in much more depth, but it's hard to argue with the low price of this volume when it comes to the sheer number of brief descriptions of games that it offers. Highly recommended to have on hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have!, June 7, 2000

mark_sailor@yahoo.com (Logan,Utah) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hoyle's Rules of Games: Descriptions of Indoor Games of Skill and Chance with Advice on Skillful Play (Paperback)

I first bought this book over a dispute in poker I had with a friend. You can imagine my shock when I found out he was right. Since then, the cover has been worn off my copy from repeated use. This book is great for settling disputes and learning new games. A must have for anyone who plays cards.
