Original Old Maid - The Game of Merry Matches

Originally published during the golden age of parlour games 1880-1910, 31 beautifully illustrated cards depict favorite and obscure characters from children’s literature.  The object of the game: make as many pairs as possible with the match between Father Christmas and Mrs. Bond being the most valuable.  The player that retains unmatchable Mistress Mary at the end of the game is penalized. 5x4”.
