description: Whether you prefer quiet games that demand skill and concentration or boisterous outdoor and party games, The Encyclopedia of Games will provide you and your friends and family with hours of enjoyment. Perhaps you need to occupy children on a rainy day and have nothing more than paper and pencil on hand, or you want to entertain friends and family on birthdays, at dinner parties, and on special occasions. Or you simply want to confirm the rules of Chinese Checkers or Chess and discover a variation you've never played before. Whatever your requirement, you will find everything you need here. Those in search of thrills and challenges will find complex card games such as Bridge, Poker, and Euchre. There are word games for long car trips, and traditional party favorites, such as Apple Ducking and Sardines. Outdoor enthusiasts will not be disappointed either, for this volume covers games as diverse as Simon Says, Croquet, and badminton.
