The Get Along Gang Card Game (1985) – A Gentle Children’s Card Game
The Get Along Gang Card Game is a gentle, friendly card game based on the much-loved 1980s characters. It’s simple to learn, calm to play, and focused on matching, collecting, and a bit of luck rather than competition. With bright characters and easy rules, it’s especially well suited to younger players and relaxed family play.
How to play
Players are dealt cards from a pack of Get Along Gang characters, while a separate train pack sits in the middle. On each turn, a player picks up a card, then discards one so they always hold four cards. The aim is to collect three matching character cards, which allows the player to discard them, draw new cards, and choose a card from the train pack. Play continues clockwise as everyone works towards completing their train. The first player to collect an Engine, an Express, and a Caboose card wins the game.
