| Summary | "Round Games with Cards" by W. H. Peel is a practical treatise on various popular card games written in the late 19th century. The text details the rules, variations, and tactics for a range of games, including NAP, Loo, and Poker, aimed at both beginners and experienced players.

It outlines how the game is played, player roles, scoring, and strategies for bidding tricks based on the cards held. The section emphasizes key concepts like the importance of speculation and decision-making based on the cards dealt, setting a foundation for understanding more complex games explored later in the text. The clear explanations and structured approach cater to readers who wish to improve their card-playing prowess or simply enjoy the strategic depth of various games.
