Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book delves into the little-known historical origins of playing cards, tracing their roots to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The author, a retired accountant, has devoted years to meticulously researching and compiling a comprehensive account of the evolution of cards from their humble beginnings as representations of time to their use as a popular pastime. Beyond its historical significance, this book also explores the scientific and mathematical principles underlying the game of cards. The author presents a novel and superior game called "Guest," which he claims is perfectly balanced between the extremes of Whist and Euchre. Guest showcases the author's innovative approach to card game design and his understanding of the mathematical complexities that govern their play. This book will appeal to card enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of games and culture. It offers a unique perspective on a familiar object, revealing the rich history and intellectual depth that lies behind the seemingly simple act of playing cards. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
