David Ogilvy retired from his business as a maker of games in 1879. In that year he disposed of his games “to a London publisher”, unnamed by him at the time but this turned out to be John Jaques who then made a great success of the 12 Ogilvy One Shilling games; so much so that David Ogilvy in his retirement brought out two new games in his own name – this one, “Rhyme Without Reason” and “Harlequin and Columbine”. Rhyme Without Reason has four suits of cards, ‘Brown’, ‘Smith’, ‘Jones’ and’ Robinson’ and each are numbered one to ten with three called A, B or C. Each has a rhyme included which needs to be matched to the corresponding card in the other suits to complete it. The collection holds one pack of this game with 52 cards plus the rules.
