As its title suggests this is a question and answer card in several languages: 'En anglais, en italien, en allemand, et en francais' (in English, in Italian, in German, and in French). There are 32 cards in total with the French printed on one side and the other three languages on the reverse.
A footnote to the title of the game reads 'exercises propres à exciter les enfants à la conversation' (exercises appropriate for stimulating conversation in children). As well as teaching language, this game reflects the importance being given to the precepts of good behaviour, which were strongly reflected in the board games of the time.
