Description

The object of each player is to obtain the remaining cards of the families of which he happens to hold a part. When a player receives a card he must instantly say "Thank you" otherwise some one will immediately call "Pepper" and take all his cards. The fun of the game consists in securing and completing the various families, and even more particularly in the constant capturing of cards by calling "Pepper" and in the efforts of those who have lost their cards to again get into the game.

The pack is made up a number of Families, each family consisting of five cards: the MAN, his WIFE, SON, DAUGHTER and a fifth card showing an ARTICLE indicating the family.

For example, in Sir Peter's family the 5th card is a servant. Thus: The Sir Peter Peppercorn Family consists of Sir Peter, his wife, son, daughter and servant.

There are 9 sets of families.
