Hi is it a card game

I play Contraband with my GSs. Briefly, it is a very old fashioned card game where players have to 'declare' what they have in their hand of cards but they don't have to show them to the person designated as Customs Officer so they can lie and the CO can either let them through or challenge them, an incorrect challenge costs the CO £200. The cards include several nylons, brandies, perfumes etc and one card with the Crown Jewels. Most cards are baggage for which there is no charge.

There is more to it than that but it is a good, old fashioned mixture of skill and luck.

I play scrabble every day with the computer.

As children we played snakes and ladders, monopoly and scrabble. I used to love monopoly so I guess that even as a kid I had a taste for business.

My daughter has found Teddy bears picnic board game made by Spears in a box of her old stuff. On the back is musical chairs. My grandson are trying to play but haven't got any instructions. Wondered if any one brought that game still has it and the instructions.
