“Progress” Card Game

The story of “Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan (1678) illustrated in a card game published by Castell Brothers Ltd (Pepys Games) in 1938.

“As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep: and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back...”

Above: “Progress” was first published in 1938 drawn by an unknown artist. It came in a padded box with high quality rules booklet, to sell at 2/6d, a pretty high price for the time. “Progress” was available with purple or plum backs in boxes printed in the same colour.
