I have a particular affection for games that celebrate regional culture. I wish I knew more of them. “Dutch Blitz,” published in 1960 by the Daystar Company in Flourtown, PA, is a Pennsylvania Dutch deck. One side carries simple illustrations of farm equipment; the other has numbers with a traditional design.
“Dutch Blitz” is still in print — and, apparently, distributed mostly in Pennsylvania.

beautiful…..In the 70’s it was “in vogue” in suburban Long Island to put an Amish decorative “hex” sign on houses. They have nice graphics. Wonder why they aren’t so popular in today’s pop culture. It’s time for Target to put out a line of designer sheets and pillow cases and do production in Lancaster Pa.
