If you like to play games, whether cards like poker or canasta, chess, backgammon or cribbage, this book is a big help in either learning the rules, or helping others obey the rules!

"According to Hoyle" is an expression you don't hear often now, but it means (of course!) according to established rules. Our paperback Hoyle reminds me of the rules of childhood card games. More importantly, it taught us (self and husband) to play Sniff, a domino game we play several times a week.
