Main Line
This game was issued by Waddy Productions which was formed in the 1930s to produce card games as a subsidary of Amalgamated Press the well known publisher of children's annuals. The game is for two or more people, with the pack consisting of fifty cards and is played similarly to Dominoes. All double main lines and branch lines are coloured red and the single branch lines are coloured yellow. The object of the game is to dispose of as many of your cards as possible whilst helping to build up a variable map of a railway system. You can even be your own Dr.Beeching by closing branch lines as soon as they are opened, so as to make it more difficult for your opponents to dispose of their own cards. The winner is the player with the lowest total of values in his hand or no cards at all. |

MyWord*®//* This card game for 1 – 6 players was devised by Michael Kindred and Malcolm Goldsmith for Waddingtons in 1980. It has 48 cards with 2 letter beginnings and endings of words on all four edges and 6 rule cards. Although advertised as original, ingenious and the last word in card games it is similar to some 1920s/30s card games. Namely Sylabex by Pepys and Spelling Bee by Waddy |
