[Stephanie]

Fun book with a variety of card games. We took this camping with us and taught ourselves a lot of new fun games and also tried some old favorites.

[Logan Blair]

The amount of detail for each card game in this book is crazy. Any child or even adult who wants to learn how to play a card game should pick this book up. These games range from the basic games of solitaire to the more complex game of gin rummy. No matter how complicated the card game is, this book makes each game look easy with the amount of detail that is put into this book. Not only does it make it easy in words, but the illustrations make each game look even easier. This book is a must read if you want to know how to play new card games or even if you want to polish up your skills on a game you already know.

Most of the featured games are for older kids, but there are still plenty for my 4 year old.
