Description

Description of Big Funeral (1964, Kookie):

A card game of wits for 3-6 people.
Theme: Throw Wild Funeral Parties While Still Alive
Scheme: Make Your Friends Look Cheap Send Them To Slob Hill In An Orange Crate Coffin
Dream: Accumulate $50,00 Worth of Hearses, Tombstones And Other Status Symbols
Trick taking game where the 2nd highest card takes the trick. You are trying to collect 4 objects to fill you card.
A coffin, hearse, tombstone and plot. Along the way you can collect status as points. Beware, if your the last one left without all 4 items, you become a Zombie and score no points that round!

Description of Schickeria (1989, Hexagames):
Schickeria means the "in" crowd. Apparently the way to join the "in" crowd is to acquire the requisite status symbols. Players attempt to collect high-value status symbol cards in four categories - homes, jobs, money and cars - by taking the right tricks. The card with the second-highest value played takes a trick.
