Some interesting “classic” games and conundrums, but they get pretty repetitive fairly quickly, and quite a few of them are more “activities” (origami, shadow shapes, etc.) than games or challenges.

this book might have been the creation of a bunch of graphic designers when they ran out of work - they collect these games and card tricks in this gorgeous and meticulously designed book. cute.
