According to a notice for it in the New York Independent (23 December 1852), this card game, published in Providence by V. S. W. Parkhurst, was called UNCLE TOM AND LITTLE EVA. It cost 25 cents, and play, the notice adds, "consists [of] the continual separation and reunion of families." "Families," though, referred to the 5 numbered groups into which 20 of the game's 21 cards were grouped, and "reuniting" meant melding them. (Images of these cards have been provided by The John Hay Library, Brown University.)   The directions are explained on a 21st card called "Justice." They're not easy to follow, but it's clear that the Legree, Tom and Eva cards had special value.
