50 Victorian Parlour Games to Play Today

Before screens took over the room, a good party depended on memory, imagination, and a willingness to look a little silly. This collection brings back 50 Victorian parlour games, including What's in Grandmother's Trunk?, where players try to recall an ever-growing list of items; The Poet's Chair, a battle of remembered poems, songs, and rhymes; and Pass the Slipper, a blindfolded guessing game. Even breaking the rules has its charms, with playful forfeits like acting like a parrot or shaking hands while blindfolded.

• Includes 50 gloss-laminated, full-color game cards in a slide-drawer box.
• Each card lists the category, player count, and setup on one side, with full rules on the other for easy reference during play.
• Games span memory challenges, guessing and performance games, wordplay, rhymes, and more.
• Most games support 2 or more players and require only a pencil, paper, or standard deck of cards when extra supplies are needed.
• Made in China.
