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 - are you 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.

Families can enjoy a game together, kids can play in groups on their own, and a solitary child can while away the hours playing solitaire games, practicing shuffling and dealing, or building card houses. Put a pack of cards in your pocket or handbag and this book onto your kindle and you'll always have entertainment ready! Card games also build all sorts of skills. Younger children will encounter number recognition, sorting problems, fine motor skills, taking turns, practicing patience. Older children will start to use their strategic thinking skills and can benefit from watching (and trying to remember) the cards that other players put down or play and working out odds. So get the cards out and have a go! There are easy instructions for 36 of the best card games for children and families in this book to choose from, and I know you'll find something fun - whether you are looking for a quiet game for 2 kids, a rowdy game for a family gathering, or a game which will keep a group of teenagers and younger children entertained.
