Where it came from
Published in 1994 as part of the long-standing Teach Yourself series, this volume was authored by David Parlett, a renowned expert and historian of tabletop gaming. The book was developed to provide a comprehensive, accessible guide to card games, reflecting the publisher's mission to offer authoritative self-instructional resources for hobbyists and casual players alike.
Parlett designed the text to bridge the gap between simple rulebooks and dense academic treatises on game theory. His approach emphasized clear classification and historical context, organizing games by their mechanical DNA rather than just popularity. The book was well-received by the gaming community for its structural clarity and remains a respected reference for those interested in the evolution and taxonomy of card play.
