This invaluable book explains as clearly as possible how to play the world's best (and best known) card games. Plain text and clear, precise illustrations will help beginners to "catch on" quickly. Technical terms, which are defined as they arise, have been kept to a minimum, and sample deals have been used wherever they are appropriate. Arnold has included in this treasury games for all tastes—from Bridge, Pinochle, and Piquet to the more complex Skat, Ombre, and Gin Rummy. Also included are gambling games—from those found in casinos (like Blackjack and Baccarat) to those played privately (like Poker); plus several games for children, such as Go Fish and Old Maid. A special index lists games according to the number of players required. 279pp. HC
