Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic
histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate
the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card
rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have
nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative
ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized
and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to
unpick the games, their players, and their communities. The Casino,
Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the
communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and
practices that have emerged around them, their activities and
beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games
influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and
careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the
first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the
Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers
and games consoles.
If you enjoy Uno "TM", double your fun with Duo! Be the first one
to play all your cards to the discard piles, matching two out of
three elements on the cards: colors, numbers, and symbols. A
lively, fast-paced game, now in a colorful new box.
Match 15 'before' and 'after' nature moments. Then, turn the cards
over to play again - but this time, use your memory to find each
pair. This card game builds first literacy and sequencing skills
with all your favourite animals from Slow Down - an ideal game for
2-4 players.
