Vintage 1963 The Beverly Hillbillies Card Game - Set Back - Fantastic Condition Complete In The Original Box. Released by Milton Bradley Company in 1963 in conjunction with Chad Valley and is based loosely on the highly popular TV series of the time. This fantastic The Beverly Hillbillies Card Game Set Back is a game for 2 to 6 players with the object of the game is to win the most chips. There are 42 cards in the deck - 10 each of 'Granny' cards. 'Elly May' cards and 'Jethro" cards and 12 'Jed' cards. The 'Jed" cards include two "set back" cards. Each player is dealt 10 cards for 2 3 or 4 players, 8 cards with 5 players and 7 cards with 6 players and is given 35 units worth of chips to bet with. The object of the game is to win the most chips. When the cards are dealt each player looks at the hand that they have been dealt and then bids on the exact number of tricks that they plan on winning with the dealt hand. If you win a trick with one of the two 'Jed' set back cards you are allowed to either keep the trick or give it to another player, most often pushing that other players bid over the top. If you are correct and win exactly the number of tricks that you bid, you win the number of chips equal to that bid, if not, you pay chips equal to your total bid. If you are correct you also score the number of tricks that you bid, if you are wrong you score nothing. The first player to get to 10 points collects all chips remaining. Fantastic condition game, which is amazing considering that it is now 58 years old, the game is 100% complete, and includes the full game instructions which are printed inside the lid. The first page of the scoring card has been used, but the rest of the book is. The box does have some minor signs of wear, which is mainly along the edges, and 2 of the corners has split, but have been neatly repaired with clear tape. A fantastic ultra rare vintage game from yesteryear. All orders received before 4.00pm Monday to Fridays are shipped the same day.
