ALF'a beta is a versatile card game consisting of four decks of all letters of the alphabet (including the Norwegian letters Æ, Ø, Å, and the German letters Ä, Ö and Ü), and one joker (the "ALF") in each deck. The rules describe many variants on how to play, including learning children how to spell, enriching the vocabulary of older players, making crosswords to challenge the other players, a regular game, "The Pyramid", and two solitaire versions.
