Someone actually counted, according to Wikipedia: over ninety different games in here, all things children really played at the time. Why he wanted every one of them in a single picture, nobody seems certain — I couldn't find a straight answer.

Erisava: None of these kids have kids' faces. They all look about forty. What's your take?
