Whether you're a card sharp or online-poker wannabe, The Penguin Book of Card Games has everything you'll ever need to know about playing cards...
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 - areyou 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.
