Happy Families - Card Game Rules
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 usually feature pictures of family members or job types, for example: Bun the Baker.
The idea of the game is to collect whole families.
All of the cards are dealt as equally as possible.
Play starts by the first player (usually on the dealer's left) asking for a certain card. The player must already hold one of that family and asks just one other player.
If the other player does not have the card it is then their turn to ask.
If they do have the card, they have to pass it to the first player, who can ask again.
As players form sets of 4 they place them face down in front and the winner is the first player to group all their cards into sets.
