In the style of an old-fashioned book, this volume ''contains explanations of the most excellent games suited to the family circle, such as pantomimes, games with pen & pencil, games of thought & memory, riddles & conundrums & enigmas (with solutions), games of action, ruses & catch games, forfeits, & the little fortune-teller.'' The only apparatus required is ''good temper, good spirits, & gentleness, so that at any moment amusement for an evening can be obtained by anybody who wills it.'' Many of these dozens of games are very rarely found in print.
