When illustrator Clara Gilod noticed that the families in her young son’s card games looked nothing like their own, she decided to change that. Drawing from her own experiences and the diversity of families around her, she reimagined the classic French "le jeu de sept familles" Quartett game as Merry Families—an inclusive kids card game that celebrates rainbow families in all their forms.

From queer and multicultural households to single parents, families without children, grandparents raising grandkids, and family members of every ability, this game shows kids that there’s no single way to be a family. Some families even have cats and dogs!

Beautifully illustrated and sustainably made, Merry Families sparks conversation, builds empathy, and keeps players laughing from the first card to the last.

  • Format: Quartett-style game with 35 illustrated cards (59 x 91 mm) and instructions card (in German). Online here in English and French
  • Age Range: 5+ years
  • Players: 2–5 
  • Representation: Features queer, multicultural, single-parent, and pet-inclusive families, plus family members of all abilities

Great gift for kids!

This game is so sweet! I bought two decks as gifts while I was visiting Berlin and regret not buying more before returning to the US. I'll be bringing an empty suitcase for my next visit, expressly for Polar Embassy products!

Oh you're so sweet, thanks Lizzy! We're so thrilled you're having fun with Clara's game. ✨

Diverse Familienmodelle und Geschlechtervielfalt

Ein Kartenspiel das wie in der Realität diverse Familienmodelle zeigt. Viele Figuren können außerdem geschlechtsneutral gelesen werden. Da macht das Spielen doch gleich noch mehr Spaß.

✨ Viel Spaß, A., und vielen Dank für die netten Worte. Wir freuen uns, dass dir das Spiel gefällt!!

Ein Spiel für ALLE Familien!

Ein Klassiker im neuen Gewand. Das Quartettspiel ist perfekt für Groß und Klein. Habe es bereits ein paar Mal mit meinem Neffen (9 Jahre) gespielt und es macht einfach viel Spaß.
Begeistert hat mich auch das Design und die vielen Konstellationen von Familien. Ein Spiel, das es so sonst nirgendwo gibt, wie ich finde.
Ich habe auch gleich 5 Sets auf einmal gekauft, da es die perfekte Geschenkidee für Kind und Kegel ist. :-)

Richtig süß

Wir haben das Spiel jetzt bereits ein paar Mal gespielt im Rahmen der Familie und es macht wirklich Spaß und ist so süß!
Die Regeln sind für groß und klein verständlich, da es sich wie ein Quartett spielt und man weder lesen noch rechnen muss.
Die Illustrationen sind sehr liebevoll und detailreich und es macht immer wieder Spaß, den unterschiedlichen Familien andere Namen zu geben.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Wundervoll gestaltetes und kurzweiliges Kartenspiel

Ich bin ein riesen Fan von diesem super schönen Kartenset. Die Illustrationen sind so liebevoll gestaltet und man kann sich gar nicht daran satt sehen. Als wir das Spiel mit meiner Nichte gespielt haben, wurden die Karten ausgiebig bestaunt und Fragen zu den abgebildeten Personen gestellt. So kommt man im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes spielerisch zu diversen Familien- und Persönlichkeitsbildern ins Gespräch. Gerne mehr davon!

Beautiful in and out!

We got the game for our daughter because she somtimes struggles with her "different" family setup. Seeing the own rainbow family stlye plus many many more in a deck of cards makes her feel represeted and reassures that she's not alone! also clara's drawings are just BEAUTIFUL! and the quality of the deck is very good :) 5/5*
