From beloved games Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble, and UNO to lesser-known games such as Hyperborea and Tranquility, this book is the ultimate companion to the wide world of tabletop games. It largely features board games, but also showcases some based on dice, cards, and tiles, as well as games of dexterity. Each of the 600 featured games is described in detail—with statistics on the number of players, duration of game play, and level of complexity. Also included are links to other similar games of interest. The book is enriched by more than 65 vibrant, evocative illustrations that bring the games, characters, and components to life.
