Description: (Card Games) Foster, R. F. : Foster's Russian Bank: Hardcover. E. P. Dutton & Co. , Inc. , New York. 1929. B&W Illustrations: New Edition, 6th Printing. Very Good- This book is in Very Good- condition and is lacking a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. The book covers have some light bumping, rubbing and edge wear, along with noticeable spots of fading and discoloration to the front foredge and the entire rear panel. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous bookstore sticker on the rear pastedown page. "Russian Bank is a gradual development from various forms of Solitaire, especially one which has been known since 1910 as Crapette, which seems to be a coined word. The game provides excellent training for both observation and judgment and has many surprising alternatives, owing to the infinite possibilities of the distribution of two packs of fifty-two cards each. It is impossible for any two games of Russian Bank to be even remotely alike, and even with exactly the same distribution of the cards the outcome may vary in countless ways. Another point in its favor is that each player is as much concerned in his opponent’s moves as in his own, the interest never flagging for a moment.
