If you can track down a source for the Andre Breton essay on Le jeu de Marseilles, that would be great. I don’t know whether it was published in English or not.

I had these cards as a kid. I was really into the surrealists, so my dad brought them back from France. I reinvented my favorite card game with them, and they got us all through drivers ed.
