Where it came from
David Parlett, a renowned authority on card games and game history, authored this volume as part of the long-standing Teach Yourself series. Originally established in the late 1930s, the series sought to provide accessible, expert-led primers on a wide range of subjects. This 2003 edition serves as a comprehensive guide intended to distill Parlett's extensive research into a practical format for hobbyists and casual players alike.
The book is structured to cater to both novices and experienced players, emphasizing the mechanics and strategies of classic games rather than mere luck. Parlett, who has designed numerous successful original games, brought his characteristic analytical rigor to the project, aiming to clarify rules that are often obscured by regional variations. It remains a respected entry in the genre, valued for its clarity and the author's ability to contextualize the historical evolution of card play.
