This concise encyclopedia of modern card games and their variations is arranged alphabetically according to the name of each specific game. To assist the reader further, all games and their variations are cross-referenced so that complete explanations may be found easily and quickly. Illustrations of certain games and hands are also provided in their appropriate places.
All variations of any particular game may be found in this general alphabetical listing excepting those included under the broad headings of pinochle, poker, and solitaire. Since these three categories encompass such a wide variety of variations, all are listed alphabetically under the general divisions of pinochle, poker, and solitaire in an effort to ensure utmost organization in the book.
For even further assistance in locating a game or other information, a complete Glossary-Index featuring definitions and page references is found in the back of the book.
