PLAYING HAPPY FAMILIES

      A GENEALOGICAL PACK OF CARDS THAT MAY REVOLUTIONISE THE WAY PEOPLE PLAY CARD GAMES HAS BEEN INVENTED BY AN ALASKAN DESIGNER.

       
Games creator Fyodor Soloview, made Six Generations after researching his own international ancestors. Initially intended as a solitaire-type card game that could teach people about immigration and family history, Soloview soon realised that the cards could be used as an alternative to traditional playing cards.
      Instead of monarch-led suits, the 72-card pack has a "democratised" family structure, featuring six generations of one family, from different countries and time periods.
      Soloview thinks the pack could catch on as a new take on traditional card games: "It's not the boring numbers anymore or a fight between four suits; it's the matchmaking and creation of a family."
     The pack will work for many favourite card games, such as pontoon, rummy and happy families, with slight adaptations to the rules.

Six Generations is a fast paced action card game simulating the immigration of European settlers into America. There are several variations, allowing you to make up your own games with these colorful cards.

Younger players learn matching and sequence, while older players can work up finer details of winning strategy.

You can easily learn this game, and the first round printing of these cards are sure to become collectors items.

It is no matter what age the player, the colors and symbolism in the cards are easily recognized. Wagers may be placed in advanced versions of the game, similar to poker.

Try Six Generations, you will love it! Children often learn by playing, isnt it time they learned about how America was populated? Perhaps this will inspire them to ask questions about their own heritage.

How many Generations are in your family?
