This vintage book contains an illustrated compendium of over eighty
games and their varieties including card, billiard and board games. It
was originally published in London in the 1920s as a revised and
enlarged edition based on Hoyle's early works of the 1700s. A fantastic
addition to the bookshelf of game enthusiasts, "Hoyle's Games
Modernized" is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of
this ilk. Contents include: "Whist", "Auction", "Solo Whist", "Piquet",
"Écarté", "Euchre", "Colonel", "Cribbage", "Poker", "Poler Maxims",
"Loo", "Napoleon", "Spoil Five", "Baccarat", "Chemin-De-Fer",
"Vingt-Un", "Blind Hookey", "Slippery Sam", "Bézique", "Rubicon
Bézique", "Boston", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now
in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially
commissioned new introduction on card games.
