Description
`To all whom it may concern combining cards, colored and illustrated sind: dtyllre.
CALEB eooDWIN, or
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Letters Patent No. 99,561, dated February 8, 1870.
Be it known that I, CALEB GOODWIN, of the city of Chicago, in the county of' Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scientific Playing-Cards; and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description thereof.
The nature and object of my invention consist in with various subjects or substances from nature, and giving on each card the kingdom, branch, class, order, race, or family, and name of the subject so selected, so as to combine seien ic instruction with amusement'.
To 'enable others to vmake and use my improved cards, I will describe the same.
The cards are made of any suitable paper, or paper board, and of the usual sizeof playing-cards.
I color the borders with three different colors, red, brown, and blue, and leave thcfonrth plain white, or slightly color it, it' desired. Other colors maybe used in place of these,it only bei'n'g material that the four varetics or kinds be so marked Iorcolored that each may be readily identified by its color, and so that the cards can be used inv many of the well-known games, color taking the place of form.
For the scientific games, I prefer to have the cards illustrated by a figure representing the main. Word or character; but it will not change the cards to printA the main words ornames on the cards, in place ofthe illustrations.
In playing ordinary games, such as whist, old-Sledge, 855., the cards are so arranged that the relative position in` the order of nature will correspond with'the assumed value of ordinary cards, as follows:
Red: European, horse, eagle, perch, tortoise, bee., wheat, potato, apple, pine, Virginia Creeper, and rose.
White: Asiatic, dog, swan, salmon, crocodile, buttery, corn,rpea, peach, oak, ivy, and lily.
Blue African, deer, dove, sturgeon, anaconda, grassvhopper, oats, tomato, strawberry, n illow, bitter-sweet, and camelia.`
Brown American, squirrel, robin, oyster, frog, beetle, barley, asparagus, cherry, palm, hop, angl fuchsia,
Each one of these is carried out scientifically, as will appear from thehllowing:

or order, andembraces fo'ur varieties colors, to wit, red, white, blue, and brown.
The use ofthese cards will enable the ingr to acquire a knowledg which will be useful, as w History,
In playing, the cards arel shule 'or eight persons. placing each class by itself', and if a fi it will count one in the game, and is laid aside.
To complete the classes, the person on the left of the dealer commences, by calling f'or any cards he may to three, four, six,
gdom, branch, class, or-
llustra'tion or name2 1t selections from the an oval or other under the four Sort the cards, ill class is held,
persons playy e of the science of Natural ell as entertaining.. d, and dealt equally desire, to fill up a'elass. To obtain it,vhe must first tell -tile kingdom 'to which it bel ongs, and also the branch, class, order, and race, .if of the animal kingdom, oruse the proper terms, if' of the vegetable. If properly named, the card is given Ato him, and when his class is completed,l it counts him one, and is laid aside; when-the next takes cards are exhausted. A
Any failure togive the the cards of' that class held one holding the card called by the par for.
a similar course, till vthe proper description, forfeits ty calling, to the The person completing the first six 'classes wins the game. Another game,
in the same manner.
When dealt,
examine his cards, and, if a vfull set that is,
jliich I call loss and gain, is dealt let each person or class is`held,
four cards,I or all of the colors of any one species or, class, place them in a common pile on the table. Then let the person at the right of' the dealer draw three cards from among those held by the rest of the party, withoutv seeing `the faces of them; with these complete as many classes as possible, and `place them on the common nile, when the next takes his turn, and so on-nntil .dl nave played, or until some one has an empty hand, when that person takes up the common pile, and tries to obtain the remaining4 cards by calling for them, as in the previous game, and so oh, until some one has obtained all of the cards, and wins the game.' This game will not be tedious .with a few players, if only half ofthe pack is taken. g
I also play another game, which I call matching kingdoms. Four persons -play this, and twelve cards 'are dealt to each. In this'game, the cards are of'value according to grade in the animal kingdom. First, mar.; second, beast; third, birds; fourth, fishes; fifth, rep tiles; sixth, insects.
In thevegetahle kingdom, the same relative value is observed, cereals, vegetables, fruits, trees, vines, and flowers.
In playing, the person to the left of the dealer places a card upon the table, the next one matches it with one of the same color and value from the other kingdom, and takes it, and leads a new card, which the a next tries in the same manuel'. When the player can'- not match the card upon the table, he throws another card, and the next one" matches either, or both, as he may he able, each match counting one in the game and when matched, the cards are withdrawn from play. The game is continued until twelve matches are made, and the game won. Each party has the right to lay' aside all matches dealt to him.
With slight variations, whist can be played with these cards, the-value ofthe cards being in the order named for the last game; and in order to make afull complement for this game, one blank card of each color may be added, to stand as aces', in this and euchre,
while they are thrown out for the previously described article of manufacture.
