Happy Families - Jackson family edition

Happy Families!! It may well be one of the oldest and best-selling card game of all time but now the best ever editions are here !!

These new versions are personalized with family names. So instead of just being any old “Happy Family”, this new personalized edition is specifically for families named Jackson. “Happy Jackson Families” has rather a special ring to it don’t you think ?

It’s has all the fun of the classic Happy Families game plus a series of improvements and innovations that bring it roaring up to date and add a whole new level of intrigue and fun.

If you’ve played the traditional version of the game then you’ll know that it’s all about collecting sets of 4 cards. Those sets have always been divided up by professions. So you might have a family of builders, a family of bakers and so on.

These personalized editions focus on the thing at the very heart of a family game………….the family !! So forget the builders and the bakers. Think of “The Jackson Family with Toddlers”, “The Jackson Family on a Long Car Journey”, “The Jacksons at the Family Wedding” and lots more. The cards are humourously illustrated to highlight the glorious unpredictability that makes up any “Happy Family”.

And because it’s the Jackson Family game, there are also all kinds of interesting little facts about the name Jackson. As you probably know, Jakcson means son-of-Jack and centuries ago when surnames were originally introduced, the first people to be called Jackson actually had a father called Jack. In those days however, Jack was also a nickname for people called James. So some of the first Jacksons were really sons-of-James and were very lucky to become Jacksons (and not Jamesons!). Nowadays of course, there are Jacksons everywhere – there’s one on the moon (well sort of - it’s a lunar crater) and of course, going full circle, there’s even a Jackson version of the classic card game HAPPY FAMILIES.
