Featured 80 year old card game book

I had this well-thumbed paperback since I was a kid in the mid-1950s (although the book was first published in 1946).

 

An' nary a 'phone nor a TV in sight!

Yes, but a group of children playing cards. That's just crazy.

 

Each of us used cards to build a strong fort, and then we took turns bombing each other by lobbing a penny. That was fun.

 

Cool game Deb & great memory Davey ! I was just thinking about the 'Dick & Jane' books last week- the illustration reminds me of those books.
For those outside the US-these were our basic early reading primers in elementary/primary school.

 

Make that WELL BEHAVED children.
