The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Games for One Or Two

This little book stands for BIG FUN--and not only because it's chock-full of games just right for one or two. It's so handy you can take it anywhere you might be bored: on a plane, bus or train, in a waiting room, sitting at a table waiting for your meal. It's great for family entertainment and keeping yourself busy. And it's so big that these 512 pages will keep you involved for weeks on end! Interested in board games or card games? We have over 45. Wordplay and puzzles? There are 26. Dice and tiles--another 21. Plus, you'll find another 20 assorted activities like jacks and juggling. Divided up so you easily know which are right for a pair, and which go when you're solo, it's simple to find exactly what suits your mood and situation. You're alone? Then try out domino patience, five stones, shadows, and string games. Or pull out a board to play corsair, octagon, pattern forming, and, of course, solitaire. Shuffle that deck of cards and start right in on accordion, Canfield, clock, leapfrog, maze, pyramid, and windmill. With your pencil and paper, do acrostics, crosswords, doublets, palindromes, and word squares. Or draw a cartoon! A duet might choose archboard, capture, conkers, marbles, ring board, ring tow, ringolette, shove soccer, shovel board, spool, or tossing a coin. Over a dozen board games, including chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, and backgammon will keep you occupied. Give all-fives, gin rummy, cribbage, duck dice, English hazard, and poker dice a shot. See if you can beat your companion at tic-tac-toe and categories, or at mah jongg. Every one comes complete with instructions, rules, tactics, and techniques for winning.
