Big Book of Rules
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Finally a great "rule" book that has it all. User friendly and great layout. Now when the family gets together we will not waste time and energy disagreeing on how a game is to be played, especially when the instructiuons have been misplaced. I am giving a copy to each of my kids and to friends to enjoy with their families.
The Best Book on the Subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The BBO Rules is fabulous! Not only do you get the most comprehensive book on the subject ever, the writing is clear, concise, and fun to read. Bits of historic information and trivia are included as well. This is the perfect gift for at least 3 people on my holiday list.
A new game in town
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
What a great book! My family & friends sat right down and played a round of Charades, then some of the word games. We laughed so hard, our faces hurt from smiling so much. It's wonderful to see the old games we'd forgotten about, and we can't wait to try some new ones. We're definitely taking it on our next car trip and I plan on buying one for every family we know for Christmas. A real find. I heartliy recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun.
