The Penguin Book of Card Games is the authoritative up-to-date
compendium, describing an abundance of games to be played both for
fun and by serious players. Auctions, trumpless hands,
cross-ruffing and lurching: card players have a language all of
their own. From games of high skill (Bridge) to games of high
chance (Newmarket) to trick-taking (Whist) and banking (Pontoon),
David Parlett, seasoned specialist in card games, takes us
masterfully through the countless games to choose from. Not content
to merely show us games with the conventional fifty-two card pack,
Parlett covers many games played with other types of cards - are
you brave enough to play with Tarot? With a 'working description'
of each game, with the rules, variations and origins of each, as
well as an appendix of games invented by the author himself, The
Penguin Book of Card Games will delight, entertain and inform both
the novice and the seasoned player.
