Book excerpt: From a few games that depend only on luck to several others that involve both luck and skill along with at least one which very likely depends only on skill, these games are different than others already out there in terms of their layouts, how they're played and what it takes to win the games. Some of the games even offer being able to resign if you're not sure how to come up with a win in some particular deal of the cards. That does not mean the games are difficult to play, just that they offer some challenge. The games are easy to learn with the play-by-play illustrations in this book. Although the book has a little more than 250 pages, it does not take so long to read because the vast majority of the pages are just sets of illustrations with a bit of accompanying text. Be the first on your block to master these games!
