Card game, Pit

This card game belonged to the Timmings family from Ngaio, Wellington. It was a set that Brian Timmings played with as a young boy. Brian kept the set and then enjoyed the game with his own children.

The Timmings children grew up in the 1970s and enjoyed a childhood full of family activities. Along with riding their bikes, climbing trees and playing in the garden, the family also enjoyed picnics and cricket games together. Indoor activities such as cards and board games were a popular past-time. They all also learnt musical instruments, mostly the piano and/or the violin.
