Roodles card game was devised by Arthur J Patterson (1869-1948) and copyrighted in 1912. The set contains 57 cards comprising 1-14 in each suit of wishbones, horseshoes, shamrocks and swastikas plus a Roodles joker card who juggles all the suit symbols. The game is played similar to Rummy and the aim is to get rid of all cards in hand. This game was designed prior to the swastika becoming the symbol of Hitler's Germany.
