Not many games companies can claim to have been as influential as Jaques' during the last 215 years. In our more than 200 years of business, we have invented Croquet, Ping Pong, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Tiddledy Winks and perhaps the games most synonymous with the Jaques' name - Happy Families and Snap. The illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, chief illustrator of 'Punch' magazine and the original artist for Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland', the fantastic characters he has created in the fast paced game of Snap have captured the imagination of children for over a century. Played by children of all ages, 4 to 104, these vividly imagined characters are still a favorite for more than a hundred years now.

But perhaps the game most synonymous with the Jaques' name - Happy Families. The instantly recognizable faces of Mr Grits the Grocer, Mr Bun the Baker and all the other families have made the illustrations by Sir John Tenniel a game of worldwide success.

Jaques' Happy Families and Snap consists of two packs of high quality matte laminated cards with the original designs exquisitely recreated for your playing pleasure. Your purchase is presented in a solid Mahogany case with brass fittings.
