Funny body/head cards?

Re: Funny body/head cards?

That's the one.
Had loads of fun with those!
Is it my imagination or did they do some topical ones with political and sporting figures?

I wouldn't be surprised, though I don't think I've ever seen one.
I've long lost track of versions of "Happy Families" and of course "Monopoly". I was surprised recently by stumbling across a genuine Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) version, though:
LDSOPOLY BOARD GAME LDSOPOLY BOARD GAME FROM MISSIONARY NOVELTY COMPANY [00002] - $40.00 : Missionary Novelty Company, The Grestest Mission in the World!

The same place appears to offer a missionary verson of "Risk"
The GREATEST Mission IS The WORLD! : Missionary Novelty Company, The Grestest Mission in the World!

Apologies, I'm slipping out of nostaligia into... the unknown.

I seem to remember Fatima Whitbread!
Maybe Gorbachov and Thatcher aswell (possibly), to give idea of the time.

Nice one Emettman. We had both the card and the block/cube version as children.

It's a clssic toy/game that has appeared in book form, on rotatable cylinders and stackable cubes.

The version you are thinking of may have been the Spears games "Misfits"

There are two much earlier versions on this second page:
Stock - Classic Card Games

Does anyone remember a set of cards which was divided (I think) in three parts. One part was the heads, the second the bodys and the third the legs.
You could mix and match them all with hilarious consequences.
