Well shuffled, backs up, the 40 cards are placed in the middle of the table. 19 "male ideals", 20 "role models of real femininity" - and the maiden room for the beauty who loses in the race for the right man. In turn, each player takes a card. A gentleman's card and a lady's card always make a pair, one suitable or one unsuitable! This can be argued about and there will also be disputes, which, if necessary, will ultimately be decided by the selected game master. Whoever has a matching pair reads out the two texts and asks for recognition so that they can discard the pair. When all cards have been taken from the table, you draw from your right neighbor. At the end, a lady card and the maiden room remain in one hand. That costs a deposit. The player to arrange the most auspicious marriages receives the award and is the winner. The game is from about 1925. —user summary
