“Trump's” American Hoyle; or, Gentlemen's Handbook of Games.
Containing clear and complete descriptions of all the Games played in the United
States, with the American Rules for playing them, including Whist, Euchre,
Besique, Cribbage, All-Fours, Loo, Poker, Brag, Piquet, Ecarté, Boston, Cassino,
Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Dominoes, Billiards, and a hundred other games.
To which is appended an Elaborate Treatise on the Doctrine of Chances.

Reasons why the “American Hoyle” must be the Standard Authority for
all Games played in the United States:

Because it is an American Book, prepared with
great care, with the aid and counsel of a large
number of the best players (both amateur and professional)
in this country.

The Rules descriptions, definitions and technicalities
are all simplified and adapted to the several
games as they are actually played here.

Many of our games are peculiarly American, and
cannot be intelligibly described except by an
American who understands them, while those of
foreign origin have become so changed by American
modifications, as to make the European rules
and descriptions as likely to mislead as to instruct.

In preparing this work the best or greatest
weight of authority for each particular game has
been taken upon disputed points.

The important games of Chess, Draughts, and
Backgammon are illustrated with over 150 diagrams
of games, problems and critical positions,
all of which have been carefully played upon the
board since the work was stereotyped, and nearly
100 errors (which appear in English Game Books
and their American reprints) have been corrected.

All the games played in the United States,
whether of home or foreign origin, are given as
they are played by Americans at the present day,

12mo., 500 pages, cloth, gilt side and back, profusely illustrated.

Price $2 00.
