This follow-up title to "Chess - From First Moves to Checkmate" builds on the earlier title's innovative approach to its subject. The book introduces a wide range of board and card games, detailing their history and strategy as well as providing playing instructions for a variety of international games including draughts, mancala, rummy and whist. The book is divided into two sections: board games and card games. Computer-generated artwork re-creates the game boards, pieces, cards and moves, offering a guide to each game. Rules and sample moves are clearly explained and players are encouraged to improve their play with puzzles. This title should appeal to existing players of any of the games featured as well as those keen to discover new ones.
