Speed by Pepys card game - 1948

This is a 3rd Edition copy of Speed (manufactured in Great Britain by Pepys)

A card game for 2- 5 players where the object of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand. There have been at least 14 editions of this game published. Speed is a predecessor of the popular game UNO and a contemporary of Whot.

Rules:

• Players are dealt a hand of cards: 6 cards for 2 or 3 players, and 5 cards for 4 or 5 players.
• Players play cards by matching the set of the previously played card (Aeroplane, Train, Ship, Motor, or Animal) or by playing a card with the same number in the top corner (the Animal suit contains 2 numbers per card).
• If a player cannot play, they must draw a card from the draw deck.
• 'Lightning' cards act as wild cards, allowing the player to designate the next set to be played.
• There is one 'Extra Turn' card that can be played in addition to a normal card, giving the opportunity to discard 2 cards in one turn.

When the first player finishes, the remaining players score penalty points equal to the sum of the numbers on the cards left in their hands.

3rd edition out of the 14 in the series. 

Good complete condition with racing driver to front, jet, steam train, race horse and 'Bluebird' to back. Grade 2 under vintage games grading system.
