Hi Alana, it's Frank.

Hmmm. It will be interesting to see what it eventually turns out to be . . . but in the meantime:

I'm thinking that since it is for "ship travel" that it may be for some sort of deck game, like deck shuffleboard? Obviously, with the "we" and "they" it is a game for teams of two or more, rather than singles (unless you count those with multiple personalities). ;-)

Since there are three columns, the game may be played via "best out of three".

And, of course, it could very well be as you suggest for a card-type game.

I love a good ephemera mystery. :-)

My take on it is a game score card for long distance train travel. The Zephyr and Vista-Domes were passenger trains that crossed small places like the Rockies. The Ship-Travel refers to a suggestion to both ship goods and travel on the Burlington route

Maybe a bridge score card for people who got tired of watching breathtaking scenery?

Bridge Score Pad. From the Burlington Zephyrs/Vista Domes............those lounge cars were spectacular. I'll see if I can find one of my ads..........nope.they are all gone and I sold them before I started KEEPING everything.

But this might help you out..

I've been trying to puzzle this one out. The card reads 'we' and 'they'. If four people are playing, how did they decide who was we and who was they? Sort of a chicken or the egg kinda thing...

LOL....not a Bridge or Canasta player are ya Gary? Whomever is keeping score is We and the opposing team is They.............. Only down here in Texas we use Us and Them!

Hi Alana, I've just added a couple of images showing the trains with the 'dome cars' talked of here. You wait ages for one and then 2 come along at the same time!!! (Well, they say that of buses - so can it apply to train ads).
