On any given day, at about any time, you can turn on the television and you will find a Texas Hold Em tournament being played on one of the channels. The televising of these games has brought forth a renewed interest in the game of chance. The market is glutted with items for holding Texas Hold Em tournaments at home. Cards, chips, marked table cloths, books on strategy, rules etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I am not putting down the game of Texas Hold Em. It's a fine game but I find it gets pretty boring playing the same game over and over. There are many more card games that can create excitement and genuine fun for those of us who cannot afford a $10,000 entry fee to one of these tournaments. This book contains 41 games and variations of card games that have been played and enjoyed for generations and you don't have to be a poker pro or expert to play them. Long before television was even invented, folks would gather at different houses for "Friday" or "Saturday" night poker parties. Dealer's Choice was the rule. Many games were invented at these "night outs" and their popularity spread across the nation with different names and variations being added as they were played in other areas by different folks. The games in this book are games that my friends and my family have played and enjoyed for over a half a century. These games are guaranteed to provide hours and hours of fun and excitement for you and your friends.
