Mini Playing Cards in a Hanging Plastic Box
More Pendants & Necklaces
More Little People & Things
This nicely rendered set of miniature playing cards measures 1-3/8 inch long by 1 inch wide. The cards are created from lightweight cardstock and are perfect for your dolls' bridge club or poker night.
Each set arrives in a plastic box with a double-sided hanging loop which keeps the box together pretty well. The loop allows you to use this as a special pendant for a novelty necklace or key chain.
Although these are well made, we're not sure that the set (in the box) could withstand extended wear and tear as jewelry, but for an occasional card party night - this might be just the ticket.
The cards inside are nicely printed and can be used themselves for collage or other art projects.

Patience is the European equivalent of Solitaire in the United States. These cards have been created for single player games. But, of course, because all of the standard cards are included, the cards can be used for other games as well!

Oval Skat Playing Cards in a Plastic Case
These easy to hold oval cards are specifically made for playing the game of SKAT, the national card game of Germany. SKAT doesn't require an entire deck of cards, so you'll not be able to play all card games with this deck.
Each deck contains 4 suits - each containing the cards 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (U), Queen (O), King (K) and Ace (A). (Cards 2-6 are not included).
The game is a three-handed trick-taking game. Instructions in English and other languages are readily available on the internet.
We also love these cards for their classic illustrations - especially on the face cards!

The Cottage of Content
The Cottage Of Content is a role-playing card game for five to seventeen (yes, 5 to 17) players that is reproduced from a very rare antique game. Originally published in the 1850s, this lovely game reinforces the timeless notion that good behavior is to be rewarded.
The game consists of 18 illustrated cards colored in a charmingly primitive style and two cards of Morals. Players experience a bit of living history as they assume the roles of nineteen century characters with names like Sabrina Flirt, Harry Boastful, Samuel Suspicious and Eliza Envious. The Faults of these misbehaved or ill-tempered characters are exposed by Felicia Amiable and Peter placid, then remedied with quaint morals such as:
Rudeness offends all.
Jesting makes no friends.
Envy knows no peace.
At the end of the recitation of morals, Felicia and Peter are given the Cottage of Content as a reward fro their excellent behavior.
The game is packaged in a slipcase (measuring 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches) that features a reproduction of the antique label from the game's original box. There are 20 lovely cards plus instructions.

The Wedding Game - Circa 1880 Reproduction
More Weddings & Anniversaries
More Victorian
This enchanting playing card game is a fine quality reproduction of a splendid set from around 1880, hardly seen for decades! Such a beautifully illustrated parlor game of simpler times is a welcome relief from the overly violent electronic games of today. The gentle games of the past were designed to stimulate the mind and improve memory and math skills.
The Wedding Game was originally published in 1880. This charming card game chronicles a Bride and Groom's trip to the altar. As in any wedding, players pay and receive according to directions, along the way finding bridesmaids, groomsmen, the Parson and a clerk - all the while avoiding the Lawyer, the Bride's Aunt and a rejected suitor.
If the Lawyer is encountered during the game, the wedding is postponed! It seems that very little has changed in the last century or so!
The game comes in a beautiful slipcase box that is embellished with hand-applied iridescent glitter and tied with a satin ribbon bow. The 3-1/2 by 4-3/4 inch cards are produced in a style evocative of pastel lithographs of their original day. There are 24 character cards, charmingly illustrated and 25 pay cards.
Consider this lovely deck as an excellent bridal shower game or wedding table favor! What fun for an anniversary - a pleasant way to reminisce.

Naipes Españoles - Spanish Playing Cards
More Hispanic & Latino Items
This fantastic deck has four alternative suits: Swords, Clubs, Cups, and Coins (numbered 1 through 12, plus two advertising cards). Not only are the suits different, but there are no traditional face cards. Their unique faces and suits make the traditional cards reminiscent of tarot cards.
Naipes Españoles have fewer cards than a standard set of poker or bridge cards, Once you see the graphics, you'll want to use them for your artwork rather than for playing cards. Use one as a special gift tag; cut and paste for a continental collage; or, of course, create your own card games.
Such a great value for such splendid graphics. Individual packs and brands may differ slightly.
