A variation of Snap,
when cards match - theaction on the cards is called out
Very typical Victorian style illustrations
We beleive this to be very early
as it is not advertised with the other games similarly packaged
Maybe it scared young children and was not made for long as it does seem very rare

Moods & Faces - Complete - Cards are used - some with creased corners/rules and box - very good

An early and unuusual game by De La Rue c1900 copyright by Ernest Legh -
The aim of the game is to build a pagoda with specially designed cards without causing the structure to collapse.There is a baseboard for the building with gauges that ensure that the first story is corrrect. It seems complex with rules for attempting to replace partial collapse and foul placement of cards -

Rufa - Condition - Complete / Cards - four sets of 24 cards - two sets probably never used - the other two sets have a couple of lightly creased cards stillvery good - The basebord is at the bottom of the box - it is fine - the centre piece is not fixed, we believe it should be but would rather let the new owner stick it f they agree with us / Box (inside used as base for game) - good, complete but outside scuffed at the edges / Rules inside lid - very good
