A game in the tradition of Happy Families but this has sets in varying numbers of cards. I expect parents saw an educational value in the game and they were right to do so. There are 9 sets in all, each giving examples of a type of measure. The sets range from 3 cards to 7 cards. In your turn, you may ask any other player for a card in one set but you must have at least one card from that set in your hand. If you complete a set, lay it in front of you. When all the sets have been collected, the player who has most in front of him, wins. The nine sets are: Cubic Measure Troy Weight Apothecaries' Weight Dry Measure Measure of Time Long Measure Square Measure Avoirdupois Weight Money Table
