1. A Great collection of Solitaire.

   The whole book divide 179 games(in addition to hundreds of variations) into 3 catogaries: Elimination/Amalgamation (1-62); Ascending Suit Sequences on the Ace (63-91); Suit Sequence and other runs(92-179). The rules are clearly explained. What's more, each game has an example illustrating the rule and/or a strategy for good-play. With full-color print and 179 different solitaire games, this is both a resorceful book for solitaire lovers and a collection itself.




2. Excellent collection of solitaire games. Unfortunately, there are also quit a few errors. This includes discrepancies between the text and illustrations, and in some cases, the rules a simply too vague, making it impossible to play the solitaire. Despite these flaws, this book contains a lot of gems and is well worth the price.



3. This is a book based on playing and learning solitaire card games as learned from the author's grandmother. My own interpretation, based on responses in the book and the book itself, is that his grandmother was quite a mathematician/statistician and card player, who spent most of a lifetime studying solitaire card games. It is apparent they were/are both enthusiasts of solitaires and cards. The book is accurate, readable and possesses more solitaires than you would ever try to learn. It is beautifully illustrated, in color, with easily understood tableaus. It is a must for those who enjoy solitaires with real cards. (I play with real cards. I sometimes question the accuracy and randomness of computer programs/seeds/potential bugs and could swear certain programs cheat by changing the outcomes of the cards based on your choices to increase randomness, but cannot prove it. Slow as it may be, I trust outcomes using real cards because strictly speaking, in this manner, I am the programmer. And no, I do not cheat.) This is a wonderful book. I gave it 5 stars.

1. I find this book to be very helpful in learning different solitaire games. Some games don't include layout diagrams but the instructions are well done. I highly recommend it for a beginner solitaire player.



2. I bought this book so I could learn different ways to play solitaire. It has pictures and plenty of instructions. I do wish it had a few more pictures so I could see how they were saying to lay them out but all in all it is pretty good.



3. Detailed instructions, illustrations, terminology, time requirements, and odds in winning of over 225 of the most challenging and fascinating card games ever invented from the famous Canfield Solitaire to Napoleon's Forty Theives. It's here -- everything you need to know about Solitaire and Patience games.



4. If According to Hoyle by Moorehead was card-game bible when I was a child, this book was certainly a new testament.

   I really didn't fit in well with other kids, so I had nothing much to do. So, I studies solitaires. But I had 150 ways to play solitaire, and all that book did was confuse me.

   When I found this book at KayBee many years ago, I was most impressed. It's the clearest book on cardgames that I have ever read. They're even thoughtful enough to create two games, Joker Klondike and Joker Canfield.

   This book will clarify almost any game, and I still pull it down from the shelf. In fact, I think I'll pull it out right after I've finished posting.




5. I like the way this book explains the games. They are concise and the preface of the box gives a good description of the terms used to describe the games. This is nice to give you something to refer back to. Also, the illustrations of each layout is very nice.
