Card game:Paws & Claws

The Strong National Museum of Play
Rochester, United States

Paws & Claws is an animal version of Old Maid. The instructions allow for slightly different versions of play or "the regular game of Old Maid..." The odd card is "Miss Polly Parrot." All other card pairs are couples of animals. An early example of an Old Maid variation, Paws & Claws was perhaps meant to appeal to little boys.
