Vintage Know the Game Book – Inn Games (1955)

This wonderfully illustrated 1955 Know the Game booklet brings together the classic pub and parlour games once found in cosy British inns, from darts and dominoes to shove ha’penny, cribbage, draughts and skittles. It’s a delightful slice of mid-century social history, filled with simple rule explanations, charming line drawings, and all the atmosphere of an evening spent around a well-worn wooden table.

Printed in Great Britain by Educational Productions Ltd., the booklet has that lovely aged paper tone and tactile feel that only true vintage books carry. At just the right size to slip into a stocking, tuck into a hamper, or gift alongside a set of old dice or dominoes, it’s the perfect little nostalgic treat for gamers, collectors, and lovers of traditional pastimes.
