Product Details

Compiled by renowned game authority Albert H. Morehead, The Modern Hoyle is a comprehensive reference to the rules, scoring, strategy, and etiquette of the most popular card, board, and party games of its era. Covering classics such as bridge, poker, pinochle, canasta, chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes, and dozens of other games, the book provides clear, authoritative instructions for beginners while offering strategic advice for experienced players. Long regarded as one of the definitive game manuals of the twentieth century, this wartime edition reflects the growing popularity of home entertainment during the 1940s. The combination of the original dust jacket and the July 1945 wartime printing notation make this a more desirable copy than a later reprint.
