Does anyone have any details on this board game, called “Las Vegas Scrabollo”? What company made it - was it Parker Bros.? Ideally - I would like to find the rules for it. It was played like Scrabble, but you used small cardboard playing cards to make poker hands. We had it at home in my younger days, and the tiny playing cards were showing up under carpets, cushions, etc. years later. There’s a picture of the box in this group of games [here.](https://topbidauction.hibid.com/lot/82334849/5-vintage-games-including-electronic-stop-thief/) ---

There was until recently a great site for old games. I’m going to try and find it. In the meantime do you mean this game: > **[Log into Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/546819963255089/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post)** > > Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/original/2X/9/9e5b166855ab7ecba87cc99b3aea16afa6884fc4.jpeg) * * * This is a great site for old and obscure games: > **[On-line Games | Wiki | BoardGameGeek](https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/On-line_Games)** Amazingly, you stumped them. ---

Thanks for all the info! I’m Googling “Peerless Playthings” without much luck so far. They also made a “[Tom Corbett, Space Cadet](https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/83050/RARE-TOM-CORBETT-SPACE-CADET-GAME)” game ---

I own the board to this game. unfortunately I no longer have the box, instructions, cards, dice or anything else this game came with. I’d sure like to get a copy of the rules. ---
