Very few, if any, of these games require much preparation. Just use what is in the house, follow the directions given, and a good time will be the result.

Many of the good old games that every one has played are here, while the newer ones, which may be strange at first, will prove most enjoyable when every one has "caught on," as the saying is. M.C.H.
