The author's first book helped me a lot, back when I was first learning the ins and outs of the game. Now I can play without getting confused QUITE so often as I used to (!), but sometimes I still get super frustrated with figuring out (or maybe it's with staying confident about) building my hands. This "Strategy" guide is giving me all I hoped for, and actually more: because there's an appendix with fun historical info and images which I really like too!
Other players may have different needs, but I can attest that this book really is helping me "get it"--my skills seem to be sinking in somehow, so that I'm playing stronger. I love the change and my (more experienced) fellow players are pretty impressed already.
The reviewer Johana seemed confused about the years of the Cards that the book references; I wonder if maybe it's a language barrier she's dealing with? The book is very clear on that aspect, I thought--it includes all the examples and info you need to learn everything it teaches. Actually, I find that all the examples the author gives to help you, make it really practical. High marks!
