This vintage book contains an illustrated compendium of over eighty games and their varieties including card, billiard and board games. It was originally published in London in the 1920s as a revised and enlarged edition based on Hoyle's early works of the 1700s. A fantastic addition to the bookshelf of game enthusiasts, Hoyle's Games Modernized is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: Whist, Auction, Solo Whist, Piquet, Ecarte, Euchre, Colonel, Cribbage, Poker, Poler Maxims, Loo, Napoleon, Spoil Five, Baccarat, Chemin-De-Fer, Vingt-Un, Blind Hookey, Slippery Sam, Bezique, Rubicon Bezique, Boston, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on card games."
