This is a simple historical card game, which contains 56 cards from different historical eras - Tudors, Viking, Romans, Victorians etc. These cards also have different objects such as coins, head wear, weapons, transport. There are two games in the instructions. The first is similar to Mau Maus but without the penalty points - you have to follow suits or objects. There are 4 "joker" cards to help the flow. The first to get rid of their cards is the winner. The second game is a variant of rummy. You have to make 2 sets - one of four cards, and one of 3 and they can be either objects or eras. There is a strong history theme and children pick up historical information as they play.
