This is an “exotic” quartett card deck I found
during a trip to Portugal.
Since I love card games, I bought this one for my collection.
They were very popular there in the last 80s,
although there is very few information available on the internet about the
cardmaker, or about other releases they made. If you can tell me something
about them, I’d very very grateful.
The only information comes from the rules card,
which says there are other decks with ships and cars available, as well as
other card and board games. In the card on the left, you can see an
advertisement for Nai Kei, Zig Zag and Jogo do O (which seems to be a version
of Duell).
As usual in these kind of quartets, the land in
which the deck has been manufactured, is widely represented on the game. Portugal
has 12 planes (out of 32). There are also one plane from Mozambique (old Portuguese colony) and one from Biafra.
Also interesting is that the planes are also
classified after their country of origin and also after their function (for
example: transport, observation, combat…)
Some of the cards do not depict planes, but
helicopters, which are a different kind of vehicle, but it doesn’t really
matter, the game makes a lot of fun as it is.
