For completeness sake, it might be a good idea to mention which two jacks don't have board pieces.

None of the jacks are represented on the board. The eight jacks in the draw deck have special effects, determined by the number of eyes visible.

<p>Hello all you card game aficionados!</p>

<p>Back in the day, my Mom &amp; Dad played a card game that used this game board (see image).  I do not remember the name, OR, how to play. I don't really need the name of the game, but that would help. The rules are what I need. Does anyone recognized the game?</p>

<p>Incidentally the game board is about 2 x 2 masonite. My Dad cut up a deck of cards and glued them in the order illustrated, then shellacked the surface etc. voila.
I would be happy to share any info collected. I remember that the game was fun and unique.</p>

<p>Hope anyone can help.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

Hello all you card game aficionados!

Back in the day, my Mom & Dad played a card game that used this game board (see image). I do not remember the name, OR, how to play. I don't really need the name of the game, but that would help. The rules are what I need. Does anyone recognized the game?

Incidentally the game board is about 2 x 2 masonite. My Dad cut up a deck of cards and glued them in the order illustrated, then shellacked the surface etc. voila.
