Gr 3-6-2-6 Knowledgeable players will learn a new variation or strategy from the precise instructions and clear graphics in these books. Dice Games for Beginners and Dominoes for Beginners cover 14 and 10 games respectively, some of which have rules that seem complicated at first, but once mastered prove to be lively and fast-paced. By contrast, the rules and notation of checkers and chess are easy to learn, leaving lots of room for discussions of opening moves, traps, blocks, and other gambits. Sample turns demonstrate gameplay and animated game pieces provide comic relief. All games offer practice with numeracy skills such as addition, number comparison, multiplication, and even arrays. VERDICT Solid and thorough additions to the games section.
