Victorian Parlour Games

Description

Deal yourself in for a good time as you choose from a selection of games enjoyed in many a Victorian parlor. The box comes with rules to fifty games that can be played without any extra frippery, except perhaps a deck of cards if you fancy a game of Whist. Each game is good for two or more players, with most designed for a group to play together. Card games and guessing games, pantomime, and wordplay—all provide an after-dinner evening of fun or an afternoon of amusement on the couch or around a picnic table. These games are simple to learn, quick to play, and have silly penalties for when a player is “out.” One side of each card provides the category, the number of players, and the setup for the game while the other has the rules so you can keep them handy as you play.  • Test your memory with What’s in Grandmother’s Trunk?, where each player must remember all the other items that have already been named.
