For young and old alike, the DVD features 12 of the most popular card games and explains the rules and principles following a game through from beginning to end. Discover or refresh your memory on how to play Beggar My Neighbour, My Ship Sails, Go Fish, Cheat, Old Maid, Black Maria, Rummy, Gin Rummy, 500 Rummy, Whist, Knock Out Whist and Nap. The accompanying book examines the most popular card games in the world with large explanatory diagrams in black, white and red all over. The history makes clear that the first known reference to a card game comes from China in AD868 and that by the middle of the 15th century, Ming Dynasty players were using packs with four suits. The Saracens and Moors were playing an ancient game called Maib in the 14th century, and Egyptian decks with 52 cards survived from the same period, the suits traditionally swords, clubs, cups and coins, but the French introduced hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. Beautifully packaged, first time discounted.
