1991
The Famous Monarchs of England Card Game
2–6 players · 60 min · 8+
The theme of this game is the kings and queens of England (and Oliver Cromwell), and is intended to be a more fun way to learn the names and dates of reign.
The goal is to collect sets of Monarchs in sequence, either in "date order" of reign or in "name & number order" (e.g., Henry 4, Henry 5, Henry 6) per the 2008 version rules.
The game play is very like ‘Rummy’ in style, using a card hand to build straight sequence sets.
