Goose
A phrase-building game from the Falkland Islands: Pluck the Goose!
From the patents, a game of rearranging letters. In 1902, William Hardy of the Stanley General Store in the Falkland Islands arranged for a remote patent in London for a game he had invented. It is a race to make sentences ("Pluck the goose", "Stable the mare", "Catch the sprat", and "Shear the sheep") out of the jumbled cards. We have put the letters in the centre of a standard pack to let you play other games as well.
