House of Cards, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, is the classic Eames toy. The images on this deck were chosen by them to celebrate "familar and nostalgic objects from the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms."  Six slots on each card enable the player to interlock the cards to build structures of myriad shapes and sizes - or their dream house (of cards). 

Charles and Ray Eames lived in Southern California and their living room is featured in the LACMA exhibition California Design, 1960-1965: Living in an Modern Way. They designed the small House of Cards in 1952.
