The little one knows how to play this game and I don't....
My friend, who is visiting, agreed to be part of my project today :) She is holding oversized cards (7 1/2 " long) and the little one small ones (3 1/2" long) which still look too big for him.

Playing spoons with my friends and fellow expedition team members in the wilds of Western Mongolia. Spoons in case you don't know is like musical chairs played with cards with spoons substituting for the chairs. Cards are passed until someone gets 4 of a kind then they pick up a spoon - once one person picks up a spoon it signals everyone else to grab one as well. Like musical chairs there is one less spoon than people playing so its a fury of action and fun! A first for many of my Mongolia friends which only added to the fun!

Dieses Memory Spiel stammt aus meiner Kindheit und war ein Geschenk, das wir Kinder von der ehemaligen österreichischen Länderbank geschenkt bekamen. Mein Mann Rudi freute sich als ich ihm dieses Spiel zeigte, da er seinerzeit bei der Länderbank seine Lehre machte.

This memory game dates back to my childhood and was a present that we children received from the former Austrian Länderbank. My husband Rudi was delighted when I showed him this game, as he had done his apprenticeship at the Länderbank back then.
Smile on Saturday: CARDS GAMES
“Well, what shall we play now, gentleman: Happy Families?” – Mr. Yates the cardsharp in the Titanic’s smoking room from the 1958 film “A Night to Remember”, based on Walter Lord’s 1955 non-fiction book of the same title.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of September is "card games". Now I happen to love card games, and I collect different designs of antique playing cards, which of course was my immediate fallback position, however I have decided on a different kind of card game for this week’s theme, and one which was part of my childhood and may have been part of yours: Happy Families. In this case, I have opted to photograph a rare novelty deck of Happy Families I possess, produced in 1936 by Scott & Turner Ltd. of London, the owners of Andrews Liver Salt, used for one year as a promotional tie in with purchases of the product. Renamed "Merry Andrews - the very Happy Families", instead of the four traditional characters of Mr. Bun the baker, Mr. Mop the painter, Mr. Chip the carpenter and Mr. Brush the barber, and their wives, daughters and sons, a deck of ten families was produced, all associated with the creation and distribution of Andrews Liver Salt, which was a popular and effervescent powder used to treat indigestion, upset stomachs, heartburn, and constipation (which today’s closest match would probably be Eno). The ten families are Mr. Boxem the packer of Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Wiseman the shopkeeper who sells Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Canister the tin maker who makes the tins for Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Sales the travelling salesman who promotes and sells Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Truth the advertising agent who writes copy for Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Toot the van driver who distributes Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Careful the mixing foreman who prepares Andrews Liver Salt and his family, Mr. Phizz the chemist who creates Andrews Liver Salt and his family and Mr. Merry Andrew the healthy man who is the owner and Managing Director of Andrews Liver Salt and his family. Then you have the final family, Mr. Dudliver the grouser (an old fashioned term for someone who complains a great deal) who does not take Andrews Liver Salt and so he and his family, unlike all the others, look quite ill, evidently with complaints Andrews Liver Salt could doubtless cure. The figures on the cards depict caricatures of typical 1930s characters in ten family sets of four cards each. Whilst the whole deck is not laid out here, I have set out a few complete families. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Happy Families is a traditional British card game that’s been delighting children since the Victorian era — simple, social, and full of charm. Happy Families was invented around 1851 by John Jaques & Son, a London games manufacturer - the same firm that produced Snakes and Ladders and Ludo. It was designed as an educational and moral pastime for Victorian families, teaching children about occupations and family roles through playful competition. The original illustrations were by Sir John Tenniel, who also illustrated Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The game became a staple of British parlour life and was exported worldwide. The rules are simple and similar to Go Fish, if you have ever played that card game. All the cards are dealt evenly amongst the players. Players take turns asking another player for a specific card – for example: “Have you got Miss Toot the van driver’s daughter?” If the player has it, they must hand it over; if not, the turn passes. When a player collects all four members of a family, they lay them down face up and complete on the tabletop. The game continues until all families are complete. The winner is the player with the most complete families. It’s a game of memory, observation, and gentle bluffing — perfect for children learning social interaction and turn taking.
Andrews Liver Salt has one of the longest and most recognisable histories of any British over the counter remedy — more than 129 years of continuous use before its discontinuation in November 2023. I remember being given a glass of fizzy Andrews Liver Salts as a child, if I was poorly. Andrews Liver Salt is a fizzy, effervescent antacid plus a mild laxative powder used for: indigestion, heartburn, mild constipation and “Over indulgence” discomfort. Its classic formula contained sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt). The product was created in 1894 by William Henry Scott and William Murdoch Turner, provision importers in Newcastle upon Tyne. Their offices were near St Andrew’s Church, which inspired the name Andrews Liver Salt. The trademark was officially registered in 1909. By the early Twentieth Century, Andrews Liver Salt had become a household staple across Britain. It was easy to prepare (a spoonful in water), offered quick relief to minor ailments, hand a strong advertising presence — like large billboards and posters, and was marketed from the 1930s as promoting “inner cleanliness” (take from that what you will). Its effervescence made it similar to Eno’s Fruit Salt, but Andrews had a laxative effect due to magnesium sulphate. Production of Andrews Liver Salts officially ceased in November 2023, with no explanation given by Haleon (the owners of the brand and recipe). By mid 2024, remaining tins were selling for up to £73.00 on resale sites due to it gradual scarcity. Andrews Liver Salts became part of the visual and domestic culture of 20th century Britain.
You take turns matching the top card on the discard pile by colour or number. or play a special action card.
First player to get rid of all their cards wins — but don’t forget to say.. UNO.. when you have one card left or you must draw two.
Playing cards of this era were hand painted and had no numbers in the corners as many people could not read them yet could still count the pips. These cards show one of many combinations of point values with the right hand hand having more than double the point value of the left hand hand. It's a relatively easy game to learn and play. Both skill and luck come into play. Players take turns as the dealer and the score is kept on a peg board (seen here in the top middle of this image). It is handmade from a slice of elk antler with 30 holes for each player to use to keep score.
The right hand shows a 5 of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Queen, and King of Clubs. (The card turned up on the deck is included in the counting of points for both players.) The deck card is the King of Hearts. Face cards are valued at 10. This hand is scored thusly: 4 sets of 15's (5 plus each face card including the up card on the deck), 3 points for each of two runs of 3 (Jack, Queen, King Clubs plus Jack, Queen, King of Hearts) for 6 more points, and a single pair of Kings for 2 more points. This brings the total to 16 points for the person holding the right hand.
The left hand hand is composed of the 5 of clubs, 6 of Clubs, 7 of Spades, and 8 of Diamonds, plus the King of Hearts on the up card on the deck. The scoring of this hand is: a run of 4 cards (5678) is one point each for 4 points. Plus two 15's - 7 plus 8 make a 15, and the 5 plus the king (10) makes another 15. Each 15 is worth 2 points for a total of 4 points for the 15's. This hand totals 8 points.
The crib is not provided here but is scored by the dealer of that hand using the 4 cards (2 contributed by each player at the beginning of the hand) plus the up card on the deck.

I grew up playing cards especially poker and know very well that the Royal Flush of Hearts outranks all other presiding hands in 5 card poker. The odds of being dealt a royal flush in a single five-card hand are about 1 in 649,740, and when it happens it is called a 'match made in heaven'
This made me smile as I symbolically set the table for the forthcoming game and hummed a few lines from the Gambler
With almost 4000 rooms and thirteen restaurants, Caesar's Palace, is one of the largest resort complexes in the world; a fun land for adults to eat, drink and be merr-y (-ily relieved of their money).
The picture shows a 20 foot (6.1m) tall Caesar Augustus at the entrance to his palace, with one of his towers of rooms behind him.

In the classic game of Uno the wild card is a special card you can play on your turn regardless of the colour or number on the card at the top of the discard pile. You can also choose which colour continues the game.
If you play cribbage, you'll understand this title :) We were playing the game, and I suddenly saw an opportunity for a photograph. I used my Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8 lens, along with a 20mm Kenko extension tube. The bokeh is silver bubble wrap from Amazon.
When I was a kid, my cousins and I used to play a card game called Crazy Eights. We played many variations of it but our favourite one we called "Pirate Crazy Eights". The main changes to it were that we talked like pirates (Arrrrr matey) and played for money (pieces of eight of course!)
Playing Tarot card game at family gatherings has been a tradition in my family for decades.
When 3 to 5 players play with a deck of 78 large cards, you end up with a lot of cards to hold in your hand, which can be destabilizing for beginners, let alone the rules and the way points are counted.
The situation depicted is a very good one, where the player in the foreground is about to snatch an opponent's King by playing his very coveted "1" of Atout...
the hands meet at the center. the bald man watches what he has played. the cup holds its position. nothing is decided yet.
