The Game of Heck

1926

Published by Stoll & Edwards Company

Description

This is a card game from Stoll & Edwards. Essentially a set collection game, "Heck" is played with 12 numbered cards dealt out to players at the start. Three special Heck cards are placed face-up in the center of the table. The object is to get a continuous sequence of cards in your hand: six if there are two players; four if there are three players; and three if there are four players. Players throw three dice, each with 1-4, a star, and a crescent moon on its faces. Whatever number is rolled, they may "call" for that card, and if another player has it, they must give it. Throwing three stars allows a player to call for any card they want to help make a continuous sequence. Throwing three crescents allows them to draw a Heck card and use it as a wild card in a sequence. The first player to complete a sequence wins the game, "by Heck!"
