AUTHORS CARD GAME

Authors is a popular card game that has been around for well over 130 years and is still a favorite for players both young and old!  The game is very similar to Go Fish in where the players must request a specific card from the other player.  If that player has the card he/she must give it to the caller.  The caller continues until he/she does not gain the called card.  When a player has all four cards in the Book (or set), he/she sets them aside and continues play.  The card game continues until all complete Books are gathered.  The player with the most sets of Authors wins the game.  Authors cards may also be used as standard playing cards. Cards measure 3 1/2" x 2 5/16" (a hair over 2 1/4").
