Every player is dealt a hand from the pack of cards, and the object appears to be to put together one complete family, the happy family, simply by asking one of your opponents if they have a particular card. It would seem a cheerful game for children, but in fact, if they only did but know it, the parents are setting the child on the way to be a poker player or, worse, a politician.
