Excerpt from A Hand in the Game A viciously thrown snowball missed the target which it was hurled by my reckless hand, and struck one that was chosen by me fate. A pair of red lips, sweet and tender and beautiful, and my cruel little missile, mischievously flung in wanton carelessness, came into conjunction like the stars in a plotted horoscope, foretelling a strange new fortune for me. She was slender and small and dark and lovely as the loveliest red rose that ever opened its flushed petals to the day. I was a great, blundering young giant with more strength than sense, more pugnacity than judgment, more hair-brained recklessness than sober experience. It was April - yes, April with snow - and spring was in the air after one parting norther had trailed a white wake across the wide flat countryside. She was at home in the little suburban village where the train that carried me cityward had been stopped by the mere accident of a freight-spill - though I call it by a different name now.

Late years answer the purposes fairly well, although the expenditure of a little more money would have produced a much better building.

Excerpt from Dick's Hand-Book of Whist Honors must be clawed before the trump card of the following hand is turned up, or they cannot be scored To score honors is not sufficient; they must be called at the end of the hand; if SO called, they may be scored at any time during the game. When either side is at eight points, that side has the privilege of call ing and scoring honors before the hand is played; but the honors must be called and shown before the player (who calls) leads or plays, or they cannot be claimed until the play of the hand is completed. A player who holds two honors (at the score of eight) when it is his turn to play (but before playing), asks his partner, Can you one or, Have you an honor? If his partner holds the requisite court card, the honors are then Shown, the points scored, and the game ended. The holder of a. Single honor must not inquire of his partner if he has two. If any one calls after having played, or reminds his partner of calling, after the deal is completed, the adversaries may claim a fresh deal.

Excerpt from Hand Book of Draughts and Backgammon: The Draught Player's Hand Book As the grand object of the game consists in bringing round your men into your own inner table, all throws that contribute towards that end, and prevent your adversary from doing the same are advantageous, and vice versé. During the progress of the game you should endeavour to block up or detain a part of your adversary's men, in your own tables; and to obstruct his re-entering such of them as you may happen to have taken up, unless all your own men have passed his main body, and are so far advanced to your inner table (which we will here call home) as to possess the best chance, should he seek to win by running away. At the commencement of the game the players must agree towards which end of the board they will play. Each party plays into one of the tables on his own side} thus, if Black plays into his left-hand table, White plays into his right (i. E. That which is exactly opposite, ) and vice send, their men advancing in contra-position to each other, as in the annexed diagram.

Excerpt from The American Hoyle, or Gentleman's Hand-Book of Games: Containing All the Games Played in the United States, With Rules, Descriptions, and Technicalities Adapted to the American Methods of Playing Innovations and alterations in the regular methods of play gener ally have their origin in some particular locality, club-honse, or even in informal meetings of skillful players. Such changes, if based on justice, or in the creation of increased interest in the game, become more widespread in their practice; and finally, by more or less general adoption, are either incorporated in the original game, or receive separate notice as a sanctioned variety of the game. Dis putes frequently arise which are mainly due to a want of uniformity and precision in some of the minor details of new methods of play, and these can only be decided on the principles of equity and general usage. In all such cases, the laws and decisions embodied in this work are derived from both the above-mentioned sources, and are substantially those adopted by modern usage and indorsed by players of intelligence and acknowledged judgment and skill.

Excerpt from The Hand-Book of Games, Vol. 3 of 2: New or Carefully Revised Treatises on Whist, Piquet, Ecart , Lansquenet, Boston, Quadrille, Cribbage, and Other Card Games Whist is a game of Calculation, Observation, and Position or Tenace. Calculation teaches you to plan your game, and lead origi nally to advantage before a card is played, you suppose the dealer to have an honour and three other trumps; the others each an honour and two others. The least reflection will Show, that as it is two, to one, that your partner has not a named card, to lead on the supposition he has it, is to play against calculation. Whereas, the odds being in favour of his having one of two named cards, you are justified in play ing accordingly. Calculation is also of use on other occasions, which the maxims will elucidate; but after a few leads have taken place, it is nearly superseded by observation. Where the sets are really good players, before half the cards are played out, they are as well acquainted with the material ones remaining in each other's hands as if they had seen them. Where two regular players are matched against two irregular ones, it is nearly the same advantage as if they were permitted to see each other's cards, while the latter were denied the same privilege. It is an axiom, that the nearer your play approaches to what is called the dumb man the better. These may be called the foundation of the game, and are so merely mechanical, that any one possessed of a tolerable memory may attain them.
