Family Fun & Games, the Diagram Group. Sterling Pub. Co., 1992.
This is a solid 800-page collection of traditional games: cards, dice, mancala, and so on. Many games have a page of descriptive text, and a page of pictures. Some important games have more. This book doesn’t have much if anything on strategy or game design, but if you want breadth, it’s worth a look. (Reviewed Dec., ’04)
