Dominoes: Basic Rules & Variations

Rating:
Summary: Rough edition
Review: I am not sure if there was a translation error, bad print run, etc... but watch out for typos and other errors in this book. Learning a new game becomes even more challenging when the diagrams do not match up and the text is wrong.

Summary: As basic a book as eluded to in the title! Only 2/5ths good.
Review: I was quite intrigued by the title of this book as I am sure most folks are who are interested and buy books on domino. I have seen this book often sold with a big set of dominoes included with the package elsewhere - but that hardly makes up for the book which has too many gross errors. At one point in reading about one game description and rules I became hopelessly lost and couldn't really understand much! Its just another book. I finally got the book "Dominoes Plus: The Dominoforms Handbook" as my main guide of use myself to replace this one.

Summary: Hard to read and full of errors
Review: It boggles the mind how a book publisher can put out a book with so many typos and mistakes. Since the author's name looks German maybe the problem was in the translation process. After struggling with this book for a week I went back and purchased Jennifer A. Kelley's Great Book of Domino Games... what a difference. My advice is don't waste your time or money on Muller's book. Buy Kelley's book (her book is a pleasure to read).
