Description

Card Game that features the box as part of the game-play. In fact, half the rules are devoted to using the box, much as a conjuror might use it. The game-play is Old Maid with the added variant of the box. The box has two end flaps, one showing Mother Hubbard's dog's tail with his tail up. The other flap shows the tail as being down. How to make use of the box is in the rules that are presented inside a bag. This way, the boy or girl who received the game could open the secret bag and read the instructions, making sure no-one else sees them. To add to the amusement of the game, the box can be made to look empty (so the cupboard is bare) and it can be made to look full with various cards in it. A very odd game.
