Description

Here’s a fine and complete example of a classic British Card Game.  The Famous Five Game is based on the popular Childrens adventure books written by Enid Blyton.  The game was published in 1951 by Castell Brothers Ltd., under their Pepys brand name.  The cards are beautifully illustrated with scenes from four of the stories.  The Pack contains a complete deck of 44 cards.  All the cards are in excellent condition with little sign of use.  The box also includes the original Rules booklet and a letter from Enid Blyton.

From the Rules… “This game is based on four of the books about the adventures of the “Five”, and the pictures on the cards are all of exciting incidents from the books. There are four complete sets of pictures and each set, when laid out in the correct order (which is the object of the game) tells the story, in pictures, of the book from which it is taken. The cards with Yellow circles are from “Five on a Treasure Island”.  The cards with Blue circles are from “Five go to Smuggler’s Top”.  Tbe cards with Purple circles are from “Five go off in a Caravan”.  The cards with Pink circles are from “Five get into Trouble”.  In each set of “ADVENTURE” cards the No. I card is the “START” card. Those numbered 2 to 8 continue to tell the story, No. 8 in every ease illustrating the happy ending.”
