Jaques Original Happy Families - Card Game (EN)

Happy Families is a card game traditionally played in the UK, with special packs of 44 picture cards grouped into 11 sets of 4. The cards feature pictures of family members or job types, such as Bun the Baker. The aim is to collect whole families.

How It Plays

  • All of the cards are dealt as equally as possible
  • The first player, usually on the dealer's left, asks one other player for a certain card, and must already hold a card from that family
  • If the other player has the card, they pass it over and the first player can ask again. If not, it is their turn to ask
  • As players form sets of 4 they place them face down in front of them, and the first player to group all of their cards into sets wins

About This Edition

In 1851, the London games manufacturer John Jaques commissioned drawings from John Tenniel, later Sir John, the chief cartoonist of Punch, for their new game of Happy Families.
