Description
A fortune-telling game to determine what a person is like by drawing from a deck of cards and then consulting charts printed in the book.
Stamp: J.O. Wedberg. Blind stamp: [illegible] Bibliotheket, Stockholm.
There are eight pages of charts for different types of people (that is, children, young adults, young men, young women, husbands, wives, widowers, and widows). Each chart is divided into five columns.The first column lists personal or physical characteristics, and the following four columns correspond to the four suits of the cards (in order: heart, club, diamond, spade). Under each of those columns are descriptive adjectives. On pages following the charts are seven lists of questions, with from 10 to 40 answers each, to be asked of the players, to further reveal their characters and predict their future. One player is designated to be the "scrutateur" --the scrutinizer-- who will begin the game by choosing a characteristic to be revealed and then a person to draw a card and compare it to the chart of his or her type.
