Card Games Editorial Review
The Penguin Book of Card Games is an excellent resource to discover and learn how to play over 250 card games. It includes a mix of commonly known and obscure games, with a brief history and detailed instructions on how to play. The book has been appreciated for its trivia sidebars and easy to navigate the catalog of games. However, some readers have criticized that the explanations of each game are too brief and not sufficiently detailed to learn the game thoroughly. Some readers also questioned the poor indexing of contents and wished there were independent indexes by country, number of players, card deck size, and card suit type. Additionally, some pointed out that the book omits solitary games. Overall, the Penguin Book of Card Games is a great buy for anyone looking to learn new card games or loves the history of games.
