The very name will give you an idea of the nature of the game. The pack consists of thir- ty-two cards, divided into four suits, namely, England, France. and Russia, known the world over as the Triple Entente, and the fourth none other than our common enemyâ€"Germany. Each card is numbered and as in ordinary card games the high card takes the trick. In the suit of England there is one card called the Navy, on which appears a picture of a British Ta r. In. the suit of Germany is a card called the Kaiser, with his picture on it.. The object of the game is to take every trick you can, keep possession of the Navy, and avoid taking the Kais- er. Every time you take a trick with the Kaiser in it you lose three. When you take the .\‘a~ vy you get five. ' In addition to being numbered each card is named according to importance, as follows: General, Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, and Corporal, with the remainch blanks. From start to finish the game is a battle of wits to keep- possession of the Navy and make your opponent take the Kaiser. In playing there is abundant opportunity for skill and enough chance to add spice to the game. In each issue of The Evening Post will appear a coupon. Fill this in and send in The Even- ing Post with forty cents, and the game will be sent postpaid. Instructions are included in cv- ‘ery pack. ' During the 10mg, cold evenings of the coming winter this game will be played in than» ands of Canadian homes and will afford an abundance of enjoyment at parties. socials. lodges. clubs, etc. “SHOO THE KAISER” Moreover, it is safer.
