About the game

This is a very simple game where you make fun with strange advertisements. The game consists of 3 decks of cards, one for each line of a 3 line advertisement. The current player picks up one card from each of the decks and reads them out loud. Because the lines usually do not make any sense together, this will hopefully make everyone laugh. And now the next player can draw and read. So there is no competition in this game, making it hardly a game at all. Here are some examples of advertisements (drawing them as I write): Tomorrow big sale: very good flycatcher, with use of bathroom. Gentlemen searches: A nurse, extremely sticky. Who helps me with: A tasty sausage, in a nickel cage. This game has been quite popular in the fifties in the Netherlands.
