Date night, road trip, or a slow shift at work — this little navy booklet has quick rules for six great games for two, so you can deal in and get playing.

It's a little booklet just under the size of a playing card, so it slips inside an empty card box — or right alongside your deck. Each game gets a short page of quick rules: setup, what to do on your turn, and how to win. No phone, no arguments.

What makes it good

  • Crazy Eights. Match the suit or rank, play a wild 8 to change it, and empty your hand first.
  • Gin Rummy. Build sets and runs, cut down your deadwood, and knock — or go gin.
  • War. Flip, compare, and take the higher card. Ties start a war.
  • Speed. No turns: race to play cards one above or below the center piles.
  • Casino. Capture cards from the table by pairing and building.
  • Cribbage. Count fifteens, pairs and runs, and peg your way to 121.

Questions

Will it fit in my deck box?

Yes — it's sized to slip inside a standard poker-size card box. Most people keep it in an empty box, or tuck it in with a deck that has room to spare.

Is it the same as the rules on the website?

It's the short version. The booklet has the quick rules to get a game going; the full guides, variations and strategy are here on the site.

Is there a booklet for other games?

Right now there are two: Solitaire and Two-Player. More are planned as the rulebook grows.

How much is shipping?

Each booklet is $9.98. Sales tax and shipping are added at checkout based on where you live.

When can I order one?

Soon! Online checkout isn't open yet. Leave your email on this page and I'll let you know the moment it is.
