5 out of 5 stars Must have for all those little rules you tend to forget   June 9, 2008
This book has come in handy many a card game night when rules are questioned. Great reference, the best I've found, very complete.

Book is NOT user friendly, did not help me learn the game of Hearts...book is written to those that already know more than I do and my friend agreed.

Hoyle's Rules of Games, Third Revised and Updated Edition

There are easier to understand and more up-to-date descriptions of gameplay for most of the more popular games on the internet. The book is particularly weak on diagrams, which simplify understanding of many of the games tremendously. I would consider this book to be useful as supplementary information only; it would not be my first choice for learning a new game from scratch.



5 out of 5 stars Hoyle's Rule of Games   October 23, 2007
Very Informative on many games. Good refresher for those that need a review of games we used to play but can't remember the complete rules.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for card games & much more   October 21, 2007
I first bought this book about 20 years ago. It is an excellent reference especially now that our children are of age to play advanced card games. I was looking for some new games to learn several years ago, and discovered what has become one of our favorites, Oh Hell. This book is essential if you play cards. Also included is good reference for various board games such as chess, checkers, backgammon, and some fun games for young kids.
