This compilation of 162 games includes many familiar entries (Charades, Up Jenkins, etc.) along with new variations and completely original designs. While the primary emphasis is on party games, a variety of styles are represented (physical, guessing, pencil-and-paper, word, etc.). Several indexes are provided to enable readers to easily find games suitable for particular group sizes or preferred styles of play. The book was first published in hardcover in 1951 by Hill and Wang; it was reissued in 1968 as a paperback from Cornerstone Library.
