Editorial Reviews

"This is a great manual for those looking to learn and master card games. Dustin is both insightful and heartfelt in his approach to describing the lore and rules of the various games. If you're looking to learn about fun and exciting card games, this is the book for you." —Jeremy A. Harper, author of Mourning Sky trilogy

"Dustin's book is an excellent compendium of card games! While the title focuses on games for one or two people, it also includes games for multiple players. The book is well laid out—with a common vocabulary for card games, chapters arranged by game mechanics, a good index, and clear and concise instructions. As a side note, I was excited to see the game Whist included. I now understand the card game played in one of "Pride & Prejudice" movies." —Stacy A. Jacob, PhD, associate professor of student affairs in higher education, educational game maker
