Description
A nice complete example of a rare 1930’s British card game. The box contains a full set of 72 Cards and Tallies, along with the Fresh / Stale Cards and Market Prices Card. The cards are in good vintage condition with minimal wear. The original instructions are also included.
From the instructions…
THE game of ” MARKET” or Covent Garden
is so called solely because it is founded on
the names of fruit or vegetables which are
bought and sold, as in a market. Although
the general procedure of market methods
prevail there is no suggestion that the method
of playing is precisely the manner in which
business is conducted at Covent Garden or
any other Market. However, for the purpose
of this game, we imagine a very generous
dealer buying fruit and vegetables from
growers or collectors at fixed prices, and then
helping them to produce other stuff by selling
them what they may (or may not) want.
