| Summary, Etc. |
"Parlor Games for Friends and Family sets out to revive the tradition of indoor family games: push aside the screens, turn off the TV, and bring some mental stimulation, silliness and laughter, joy and connection back into your living room. This book is bursting with games of logic and memory, wordplay, card games, role-playing, and rough and tumble. Not a single game requires equipment that you won't find in your average home: a pack of cards, a dictionary, dice, paper and pen. There are games that will challenge and stimulate you, and games that will have you in fit; games that can last all night or just a half-hour; games for adults and older children, and games for your four-year-old's birthday party. Parlor Games for Friends and Family, a book for fun-loves aged four to 104, winds back the clock to remind you of games you'd forgotten and then a whole lot more. Whether you dip into it as the urge takes you or read ti from cover to cover, a very good time is guaranteed."-- Provided by publisher.
