Card games, from rules to variations

Scarne's Encyclopedia of Card Games brings a broad range of games into one reference volume, from poker, bridge, and baccarat to solitaire and dozens of others. Its coverage extends beyond how to play: the description also identifies game histories, variations, odds, and tips for detecting cheating. That combination makes the book useful for comparing familiar games with less familiar ones, or for looking up how a particular variation changes play.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Players exploring games beyond their usual favorites
  • People seeking a reference on card-game variations and odds
  • Anyone interested in the history of card games
