Description

Almost 100 years after G.K. Chesterton and H.G. Wells created "the well-known and widespread national game of Gype" mentioned in Chesterton's Autobiography, Uncle Chestnut's Card Gype arrived on the scene.

Players use a 54 card deck to assemble items from Uncle Chestnut's pockets into topics for his lectures and books. The rules are simple, but ever-changing.

Card Gype features over 40 quotations from G.K. Chesterton, who was the basis for the fictional character "Uncle Chestnut."

This game is based on the Fluxx® game engine, designed by Andrew Looney, and is used with an understanding from Looney Labs®.
