    My abiding memory of playing cards with my family is sitting in a tent in a field somewhere in bucketing rain enjoying a typical British summer holiday.

      I loved playing happy families and old maid with my mum and sister when I was little. Especially as my sister couldn't read and made up amusing names for the families.

        My parents once got a few sets of cards printed to play certain games, such as Beggar My Neighbour, Donkey & Old Maid.

          My school mate used to play a game called "Skeeta" with his mam and dad and taught me how to play. It was great game but unfortunately I have forgotten how to play. I know it involved 2 packs of cards and was similiar to rummy. If anybody else knows this game I would very much appreciate it if they could furnish me with the rules so I can play it again. Cheers.

            I didn't have many dedicated card games such as those, but spent many school lunchtimes playing Black Maria (one of the "Hearts" variants), "Crazy Eights" and "Niggles" (a whist variant) with an ordinary pack.

            Card-based games did include "Penalty",

            a football game and "Top Dividend", a football pools game.

            A personal favourite, for it's odd mechanics, remains
            "Jailbreak"

                      Here are some card games I still have from the 70s. The Space 1999 one is undated, but I'm guessing it's late 70s. The Fred Bassett pack is 1977. The Happy Families one is also undated though I suspect it's early 70s.
