Do you like playing Go Fish, but want to get some music education in? Go Composer is perfect for you, then!
Go Composer is played just like Go Fish. Each player is dealt four cards. Players take turns asking each other for cards, and when they get all four parts of a composer’s life, lay them down. The cards can be arranged and the (very brief) story of the composer’s life can be read.

These cards do still have all the regular numbers and suits on them, so they can be used as a regulation deck of playing cards, too. I like the practicality and diversity of use. The cards are also sturdy and with a nice gloss to them that helps them be water-resistant.
Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Grieg are represented. Much to my delight, they’re in chronological order by birthdate.
Just some of the cards in this deck.
