Pinocchio card game produced by Dal Negro, c.1980

Le Avventure di Pinocchio produced by Teodomiro Dal Negro around 1980, based on Carlo Collodi’s famous 1883 novel for children “The Adventures of Pinocchio”. This story seems to have struck a chord with people all over the world. Pinocchio is two Italian words put together :- Pine (pine) and Occhio (eye). Pinocchio wasn’t a very lovable character in Collodi’s book but Disney turned him into something much more appealing in the 1940 film. The deck is subdivided into four sets of 9 cards (labelled A-I) plus 4 extra cards, making a total of 40 cards. See the Rules►
