Description

Muffin the Mule was a children's television program made by the BBC through the late '40s and the '50s. This game displays characters and events from the television show.

The game is basically "Strip Jack Naked" or "Beggar My Neighbour" with players playing the top card from their deck to a pile in the centre of the table. If a numbered card is played then the next player must pay cards in succession equal to the number on the card. If while paying out that player turns over a numbered card then the next player must now pay for that card. If a player pays cards to match the required number without revealing a numbered card themselves the player who player the numbered card collects the entire stack from the centre of the table and adds it to the bottom of their own pile.

This game has the addition of 2 Peregrine the Penguin cards. When one of these is revealed the first player to shout "Muffin" instantly wins the centre pile.

Play continues until one player has all of the cards.
