Book description
Chambers Card Games for Families explains how to play more than 50
family card games. Ranging from slap-jack and snap to patience and
pontoon, the games are highly entertaining as well as quick and easy to
learn. The book includes simple games that children can play on their
own, as well as more intricate games for the whole family, and is ideal
for players of any age and experience. With clear descriptions, helpful
illustrations and useful tips, Chambers Card Games for Families is the
essential companion for hours of family fun. Peter Arnold is an author
and editor, most of whose 50 or so books concern sports and games. He
has written histories and encyclopedias of boxing, cricket, football and
the Olympic Games, and wrote the official FIFA guide to the 1994
Football World Cup in the USA. He has also worked as editor and main
contributor of part-works on boxing and football, and has ghost-written
instruction books for a West Indian Test fast bowler and a Canadian
world snooker champion. Peter devised some of the mental games for the
television series The Crystal Maze. Several of his books are on table
games, including some on individual card games, and he has written three
books on gambling, one of which was described by a New York author as
`the best history of gambling`. Many of his books have been published in
the USA and in foreign-language editions.
