Pepys (Castell Brothers)-1940
made use of scenes from the cartoon film by Max Fleischer at Paramount studios.
44 cards, each with an illustration and a word. Players must add a card to the centre of the table in their turn. Only the word on the card added is important. It must make sense and contribute to a proper sentence. When the 7th or more card is added and a sentence is finished, the player playing the last card to the sentence takes the 'trick'.
