It is what it says it is on the cover, it's laid out the way you think it ought be, it has a table of contents that is, again, exactly what it ought be, understated illustrations, condensed histories of each game at the beginning of its description/example . . .
It is what you think it is, and that is why it is wonderful. It has a sincerity and authority that I still can't understand why contemporary instructional books react so cynically against, ("for dummies," "This isn'...more

Both DH and I grew up with Hoyle in our house. It's a must own! We actually have 2 copies here - so we don't rush the other person who must also look at the rules. We do love playing all kinds of games and Hoyles is the definitive reference.
Been playing cards and games for a while now..lol. Really need to learn some of the proper rules.
Saying I have read this is a bit of a lie. More like dip into it if and when I need to!

Just remembered I read this one time
Ok, I didn't read the entire book word for word because let's face it that would have taken a long time. But the rules to the games that I did read were really interesting. It actually gave rules and where the games came from, and I found it to be really interesting.
I will continue to return to this book whenever I find myself with a deck of cards and lots of spare time. Well-organized and very concise with regards to rules. Who would have known that so many rules could be so much fun?
