Sooty's ABC Game

48 cards. Children's game which might have appealed to parents as the cards represented the first four letters of the alphabet and could therefore be seen as educational. Players collect sets of cards, 3 or 4, the only rule being that the letters must connect. So, ABC would be a legitamite example, as would ABCD, and AABC, or CCDD. There is interaction as you can block an opponent's play and take a set from them. The winner is the first player to collec t 12 sets.
