Synopsis
Reviving the tradition of indoor family games, this guide invites mental stimulation, silliness, and laughter back into the household. From games of logic, memory, and wordplay to rough-and-tumble activities and even simple recipes, this collection takes the environment into consideration, only requiring items easily found around the home, such as a deck of cards, a dictionary, an hour glass, dice, or paper and pen. The featured games are organized thematically and cross-referenced for age-appropriateness. Concise rules and instructions are included, outlining games that will challenge and stimulate, last all night, or fill the empty half-hour before dinner. Ideal for a wide age range, this guide brings back long-forgotten pastimes, guaranteeing entertainment for all.

Review
"Great family fun." —Sun Herald
“I was expecting to meet with a wall of resistance from our computerized children. But far from it: they all eagerly threw themselves into the game, and absolutely loved it. . . . It was the same with all the games we have tried from this marvelous book.” —Tom Hodgkinson, Guardian
