Where it came from
Published in 1994 by Hodder & Stoughton, Teach Yourself Card Games for One was written by David Parlett, a distinguished authority on games and a prolific author in the field of ludology. This volume was part of the long-running Teach Yourself series, which aimed to provide accessible, expert-led instruction on a wide variety of subjects. Parlett sought to curate and document solitaire and patience games that focused on skill and strategic engagement rather than mere chance, reflecting his career-long interest in the mechanics of traditional card games.
The book is regarded as a hallmark of Parlett’s descriptive style, which emphasizes clear rule-setting and historical context. By organizing the games by complexity and objective, the work aimed to revitalize interest in solo play for a modern audience. It remains a recognized resource for card enthusiasts, valued for its rigorous documentation of games that are often obscured by the prevalence of digital versions, and it stands as a testament to Parlett’s dedication to preserving the nuances of analog card gaming.
