Overview: The authoritative guide to the official rules of all popular games of skill and chance, now completely revised, updated and expanded. A book that belongs in every library, right beside the dictionary, the atlas, and the encyclopedia.

Now the book that set the standard for all others has been revised, updated, and expanded. The new edition details rules for more than 350 games of skill, from duplicate bridge to charades. 100 line drawings and charts.
