Saturday night, we all played two games of Uncle Wiggily, a game I played as a kid long ago. I got this one on E-Bay. It has a copyright date of 1949. Robert won the first game and I won the second. That was hard on Shana, who prefers to win any and all games. She is getting better about any rare loss, but warns against beating her playing Scrabble! This card was bad news: "Uncle Wiggily hops to the dog house and from there to where it tells you", especially if you were just about to win. This card is more typical: "Two more hops for the bunny and then Look out for the Pipsisewah in his den."
