Flinch Card Game "The Acme of Parlor Games"

Use

A Flinch deck is made up of 150 cards numbered 1 through 15. The object of the game is to be the first to play all the cards from your hand and game pile. The instructions packaged with the game were simple enough for children to understand and to learn quickly, yet the game lent itself to strategy, which made it a favorite of adults as well.
