terrific little book!

my sons + i love this book and card set. the book has easy instructions for many games i've never even heard of, as well as old favorites. the cards are big in the hand, which is a wee bit annoying, but they are color-coded for each suite, which is great for young children who have a hard time with differentiating the symbols.
