A Visual Guide to Philippine Games takes readers on a fun adventure filled with games that Filipinos—both young and young at heart—love to play. The book covers both old games and modern ones, games that can be enjoyed with friends and loved-ones whether outside or inside the home, with easy-to-follow mechanics that come with colorful images.
Among the topics discussed in the book are traditional games passed on from generation to generation of Filipinos kids; fun games best played outside the home; indoor games that are just as fun to play; colorful games enjoyed by entire communities during fiestas; handmade toys and trinkets that bring joy to their makers; homegrown tabletop games; and online gaming apps by Filipino developers.
Aside from a detailed description and step-by-step procedures on how to play each game, an added feature is Game+, which gives little-known information about the game plus tips and techniques on how best to play it and win.
