Edmond Hoyle published the first edition of "Hoyle's Games" in 1746, since when his name has been synonymous with games rules. This revised edition covers more than 500 games, including bridge and other card games, gambling games, board and tile games, those involving dice, words and pen and paper, parlour games and children's games. The rules are accompanied by advice on strategy, and the book is intended for both experts and novices.
