Notes: This is a game containing movie star cards. The game is meant to be played like keeno. There is a mention on the game box cover that the game was created by A. J. Saxe.
There are 8 large cards that are passed out 1 each to the game players. Each large card contains a large movie star picture on one side and a game board of 16 smaller movie star pictures on the other side.
There are also 48 game cards which look like playing cards. These cards have rounded corners like playing cards and each card contains a picture of a different movie star on the front and the same playing card back.
The game also came with a number of small round markers. The game was played by drawing the game cards one at a time and the game players placing a marker on their large cards of 16 movie star pictures when one of their movie stars was pulled. The first player to fill their card with markers was the winner.
