A Gamut of Games is an innovative book of games written by
Sid Sackson and first published in 1969. It contains rules for a large number of
paper and pencil,
card, and
board games. Many of the games in the book had never before been published. It is considered by many to be an essential text for anyone interested in
abstract strategy games, and a number of the rules were later expanded into full-fledged published board games.
