Les sept cartes mysterieuses - jeu de salon


These cards will enable you to amaze all your friends!

I found these in a jumble sale about thirty years ago. I would guess from the graphic style that they over a hundred years old, maybe more.

They were printed in France but bear the sticker of a shop in Geneva.

Just follow the instructions and you can "determine the name and age of any man or woman"

How does it work? Binary arithmetic!
