Parker Brothers had a boardgame named Americana Does anyone remember how to play?

Answer 1

Yes, I remember and I have a scan of the board. Beginning at the top of the board (all card names in upper case):

JACK (with red diamond card symbol below the word JACK)

ANTE (a green kettle below)

TEN (club card symbol below)

QUEEN (diamond)

KING (spade)

ACE (heart)

8 9 10 (diamond, club, heart, spade)

KING & QUEEN (club)

Board's upper lefthand corner has line drawing of hatted wealthy men playing Americana

Upper righthand corner - Eskimos playing the game

Lower lefthand - cowboys playing it

Lower righthand - three men and a woman (wearing dress with straps) playing Americana

At beginning of game, each player buys Poker chips.

I forget how the draw begins, or how many cards each person is dealt or holds, but when it is the player's turn and the player has a card that matches one (or a set) on the board, the player then takes all the chips that have accumulated on that card's/set's (wedge-shaped) section.

To take the chips for the 8 9 10, those three cards must be all in one suit.

I don't remember the rules for the ante.

If I can find the rules at a game rules site, I will come back here and post them.
