The Penguin Book of Games

Trama

This is a collection of over 100 games for grown-ups, ranging from new and unheard-of games to various ways of playing old favourites. The games described require the minimum of props: nothing beyond pencils, paper, playing cards and normal household items. With line drawings, anecdotes, reminiscences and stories, the book aims to be a pleasure to read as well as providing enjoyment through the games themselves.
