- Without the orig. box and the pawns; small box sl. defective.

- Chemise, tilte, rules and one floral card (sl.) fingersoiled. Otherwise fine.
= Each card has the name of the flowering plant below the image. Above the image each card has one part of the four text parts per similar lettered card that together form a more or less emblematic phrase to which the title of the game alludes. Playing proceeds as follows: each player is dealt one card, the remaining cards are placed face down on a table and picked in turn by the players in exchange for one of their own cards. As soon as a player has a complete set of four cards they read out their sentence. As in the game of "Memory", the player who has the most complete phrases wins the game. Very rare. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXVIII.
- Lacks the jester cap, the two dice and the instructions leaflet. Cards sl. foxed. Box soiled; bottom part dam.
= An interesting mixture of an arlequin game and a lotto game. All players roll a die. Whoever rolls highest pays a coin into the till and dons the jester's cap. The other players take turns to roll two dice. Each player has a card, where they mark off the numbers they just rolled by closing the corresponding metal tab. Whenever they close a tab, the player may roll again. If a player rolls a number of which the tab is already closed, they pay a coin to the jester. On the roll of a 7, the player pays a coin into the till and takes over the jester's cap and hands over his card to the former jester. When a player has closed all tabs on either half of their card, they get half the content of the till. The game ends when a player has closed all tabs. This player wins the game and the till. Cf. Papertoys p. 130, 236-236.
