The Cottage Of Content is a parlor card game for five to seventeen players that is reproduced from a very rare antique game. Originally published in the 1850's, this lovely game reinforces the timeless notion that good behavior is to be rewarded. The game consists of eighteen illustrated cards colored in a charmingly primitive style and two cards of Morals.
Players experience a bit of living history as they assume the roles of nineteenth century characters with names like Sabrina Flirt, Harry Boastful, Samuel Suspicious, and Eliza Envious. The faults of these misbehaved or ill-tempered characters are exposed by Felicia Amiable and Peter Placid, then remedied with quaint morals such as:
Rudeness offends all.
Jesting makes no friends.
Envy knows no peace.
At the end of the recitation of the morals, Felicia and Peter are given the Cottage of Content as a reward for their excellent behavior.
The game is packaged in a slipcase that features a reproduction of the antique label from the game's original box.
Size: 3" x 4"
20 cards plus instructions.
