A Visual Guide to Philippine Games by Madelyn Joson and Emaleen Kay Lilagan

This reference book 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.
