Description
‘It was a Game called Yes and No, where Scrooge’s nephew had to think of something, and the rest must find out what; he only answering to their questions yes or no, as the case was’, from ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens (1812-70)
A diverting set of 50 game cards to party like it’s 1899: each featuring the simple rules for an entertaining Victorian-era parlour game. Considered a ‘golden age’ of parlour games, sociable Victorian gatherings enjoyed light-hearted entertainments which required only wit and a little silliness for endless indoor fun. Mixing five colour-coded sections, discover 50 cards featuring word, guessing, acting, ‘serious’, and card games. Quick to learn and easy to play, most are designed for play in small groups. Try ‘Grandmother’s Trunk’, ‘The Minister’s Cat’, ‘Hot Cockles’, ‘Sardines’, ‘Tableaux Vivants’, ‘Consequences’, ‘Yes and No’, and many more. Requiring only a deck of cards and a few further everyday items, such as pencils, paper, a timer and a little music, accessible games mix thinking and gentle activity. A fun and frivolous selection of screen-free games, perfect for wet afternoons or after-dinner.
