01
Artifact Overview
Each card in this set has a hand-colored, printed image with a short two to five word phrase beneath. It is unclear what type of game these cards were used for, though they may have been used for a game where the phrases filled in blank sections of a story -- adding a humorous outcome to simple story-telling.
