It's a source of endless entertainment and enjoyment, an absolute necessity for every family's bookshelf. With more than 250 games for both kids and adults, from solitaire to party diversions for large groups, along with 300 photographs that show how to play, this is a true compendium of fun. Some demand skill; others require a little luck to win. Of course, there are many of the familiar favorites, including poker, gin rummy, Monopoly®, chess, checkers, craps, cribbage, whist, battleships, and twenty questions. Others are less well known, but just as satisfying, such as Wolf & Goats, played on a checkers board; kriegspiel, a variant of chess that rewards detective work, reasoning, and intuition; and winking, an exciting game filled with tension where one player becomes "the murderer." There's something perfect for any occasion.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Whether you prefer quiet games that demand skill and concentration or boisterous outdoor and party games, "The Encyclopedia of Games" will provide you and your friends and family with hours of enjoyment. Perhaps you need to occupy children on a rainy day and have nothing more than paper and pencil on hand, or you want to entertain friends and family on birthdays, at dinner parties, and on special occasions. Or you simply want to confirm the rules of Chinese Checkers or Chess and discover a variation you've never played before. Whatever your requirement, you will find everything you need here. Those in search of thrills and challenges will find complex card games such as Bridge, Poker, and Euchre. There are word games for long car trips, and traditional party favorites, such as Apple Ducking and Sardines. Outdoor enthusiasts will not be disappointed either, for this volume covers games as diverse as Simon Says, Croquet, and Badminton. Some games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Blind Man's Bluff will already be well known to most readers; others such as Owari (a West African game played with stones or seashells) will be relatively unfamiliar. Some, such as Chess or Mah-Jongg, have origins so ancient that they are lost in the mists of history, while games like Call My Bluff have been invented only recently. There is, in fact, something for everyone in this complete and comprehensive guide to more than 250 games, which includes most of the popular variations. "The Encyclopedia of Games" is divided into five parts that cover Card Games, Board Games, Domino and Dice Games, Family Games, and Sporting and Active Games The cover has minor wear and tear. The book is in new condition with no defects to the pages and no markings. Extra postage will be required for this oversized book. Seller Inventory # 932
