About this game

This 55-card deck celebrates the breakthrough 1904 agreements between Great Britain and France. Precise terms were mostly settling colonial boundaries, but the Entente set the stage for their WWI alliance. The cards are in six suits based on locations around a house, with 9 numbered items in each location. Each card shows the item and location in both English and French. Players must announce (in both languages) the name of each item as they place it.

Card Sequencing

Rules

Whoever has the House/Maison card plays it first, followed by the 1 of any location (suit). Whoever has the 2 follows suit, and so on until all 9 have been played. The last player in a suit then starts a new one. The first player to run out of cards wins the game.
