Confusingly Happy Families of the World 2nd Ed. has totally different artwork to Happy Families of the World 1st Edition and Happy Families of the Nations (these last two do share much of the same artwork).
In this 2nd Edition of Happy Families of the World, it must be said that more family members do look genuinely happy than in either of the games that preceded it. In several cases all the members of the same family are even smiling together, something you won't find in the other games.
The pack featured here was part of Rex Pitts' personal collection.
