After dealer separates the picture and printed cards, he or she keeps one-half of the printed cards and shuffles them with the picture cards. That stack is combined with the printed cards and dealt out, retaining six or eight for the center of the table. Following most of the Cock Robin nursery rhyme game, players answer the questions found within the rhyme, the first being \"Who killed Cock Robin?\" If the player on the left has the Sparrow card which says \"I, said the Sparrow. With my Bow and Arrow. I killed Cock Robin,\" he reads and plays it, and the dealer asks of the next player the second question, \"Who saw him die?\" If a player doesn\'t have the proper answer card, he reads and plays a printed card, and the question passes to the different players in succession, until properly answered.

There is some pencil writing on the back of the box bottom and slight rubbing on corners, under lid is also stamped \'Burnton and Co. 92 Fourth Ave., N.Y.\'
