Back in the day, my cousins and I used to play Happy Family – a card game that involves pairing up whole family members via random card pickings. I loved the retro illustrations on them, but unfortunately lost mine during my move 10 years ago.
So when I heard about the new we are a happy family cards, a project by Esti of Píntame el día that brought together 8 international artists to illustrate the families for the cards, I was thrilled! Thereza Rowe, Sarajo Frieden, Lotte Andkilde, Lady Desidia, Pintameldia, Alexandra Hedberg, Aris Moore and Kimberly Laurenti all took part in the illustrations, while the box was designed by Jorge Fernández. Proceeds will also go to Doctors without borders, so you can play knowing that you’ve helped someone out as well.
I now have a sudden urge to find some friends to sit down and play cards again. Do kids these days play cards at all, I wonder?

It’s a rainy Friday over here (right now!), and I can’t resist the urge to cuddle up with a blanket. But before I head off for some R&R, there’s a post for a book review coming up later in the evening which I think that would make the best ending to a hectic week (did you see what the news was?).
See you all later!
