This little compendium of card game rules is the work of pioneering game designer Sid Sackson. Most of these will not be found in the usual editions of Hoyle's. They are arranged regionally: Asia, Europe, more Europe, Britain, Latin America, and the US, with a final section of four original games, two of them by Sackson. The rules are all clear and playable, and there are some diagrams where needed, but most games pass without them.

Of the traditional games, I have played nearly all of the US games, and very few of the others. Ones I haven't played that interest me most are the French games Piquet and Ecarte, the peg-scored game of Cribbage (now enjoying something of a renaissance), and Casino, which I had heard mentioned, but never imagined to play in the way that the rules run.

Among the new games, I am not much tempted by the Sackson designs, which are both themed simulations of a sort: Card Football and Card Stock Market. But Ronald Corn's Buried Treasure is intriguing, and Claude Soucie's microgame Divide and Conquer looks even better.

Approximately 6 games that you can play with the enclosed sheets and colored pencils. All games can be played with just one person. Some may be able to be adapted if you have more than one person playing.

This book is a lot of fun, especially on a road trip in the car. It has copies of game boards for many games, along with a plastic pocket that has playing pieces. You can play international games like Hasami Shogi, a Japanese game and 3-D tic tac toe, which is really complicated. There are many others and each one has its history and instructions.
