Do you know how the actual game was to be played?

Mike- In one of my old auction catalogs I have where the full set of Alleghenys was sold. It came with the box too. It would take quite a while to go find it and I am not sure if the rules were with it, but I would guess they were. Other than that I don't know any specifics on how it was played. Here are a few more scans and cards too.....As for 19th century game cards, no doubt the Alpha Engraving cards are the rarest, imo.
