Card game:The Game of Vignette Authors Tokalon Series

The card game Authors originated in Salem, Massachusetts in 1861, first published by G. M. Whipple and A.A. Smith. Parker Brothers published a version in 1897. The simple matching type game encourages players to learn which author wrote specific titles. The player with the most matched sets of titles by each author at the end of the game wins. Authors was a perennial family favorite game from its beginning and versions are still produced today. Over the years the game has broadened to include women authors, composers, explorers, inventors, and sports figures.

Clark & Sowdon was a New York game maker during the later 19th century. They marked many of their card games as part of the "Tokalon Series." Did this mean they were portable games?
