Games and Puzzles
This page is devoted to those cards which have games, puzzles or other amusements either as the main body of the card, or as a little bonus tacked on to the end. They include our famous balloon game, as well as several versions of "Pelmanism" - the matching game named after the Pelman Institute which was set up for the study of memory in London in the 1930s.
