CARD CASTLE.

With a pack of cards make houses in this manner. Place two on their narrow ends, fixing the tops level.

Fig. 75.

On each side of the opening stand a card longwise.

And place two other cards at the end of the last pair, to form a square surrounding the triangle.

Fig. 76.

Fig. 77.

Each side of the central cards lay two more, flat upon the outward pair, like a roof.

Fig. 78.

On this platform rear cards like the first pair, and continue till the whole pack is used; with care many of the under cards at the side can be removed to continue the structure.
