Review: "101 Best Family Card Games" is a clear, consise and informative book. It explains the rules and course of play for many card games. The best part of the book is the section on why families should play together. I also found the card games explained in the "For the Family with Young Children" to be a great guide and a wonderful source for my young children.

Review: 101 Family Card Games is great. I bought this back on my card games kick and continue to flip through it. If you're looking for something really exhaustive and comprehensive, however, you might want to try According to Hoyle. My only other problem with it is that it repeats several different "versions" of a single card game. For example, one card game named Animals is repeated once over as Farmyard, when it is really the same game. There are 3 or 4 other times this happens in the book. I'm not sure whether this was done to help card game aficionados keep the same card game exciting or whether it was done to just fill up some space.
However, if you're just starting your card game addicition this is definitely the book to have. One of my favorite things about the book is that it's divided into the various types of card games out there: there's a section on "War", "Rummy", "Authors" and various other categories. It's quite convenient, and the illustrations are also wonderful. Overall, an excellent buy.
