Rupert, Pepys Series
First Published: 1984, by Gibsons Games, Littlers Close, London SW19
Illustrator or Designer: After Alfred Bestall
Contents: 44 Cards + Folded Rules Sheet
Rupert - Box Front
Rupert is one of the Pepys games that Gibsons retained when they took over the brand in 1984. Unlike the Pepys versions the game is called "Rupert Bear" rather than just "Rupert" on the back of the box. The card backs, box and rules are all blue in the Gibsons edition but the faces are the same.
There may have been later editions of the game featuring a Barcode on the box or other differences but I have never seen any. If found, examples will be added to this page.
This 1984 pack was part of Rex Pitts' collection.
