This educational take on the Happy Families/Quartett mechanism has a 60-card deck. Each of the 15 sets consists of objects needed for a task (such as dishes in a meal or getting dressed).

In order to obtain a card from another player, one must both correctly and politely ask for it in French, and then when asked why, respond with an explanation of its purpose. Similarly, responses either positive or negative must be in correct French.

The rules emphasize that "No English must be spoken while the game is being played, except when the teacher wishes to make sure that a pupil understands the meaning of a particular word."
