The same format as Panto. An economy game with smaller cards than usual. The only "branding" is the "A Pepys Game" device on the box front, no mention of Castell Brothers and no address is given.
The illustrator was Neville Main whose initials can be seen by Judy on the right hand side of the title card.
In Pepys, The Story of The Company and its Games 4th Ed.p32, Rex Pitts notes that at some point the cards were further reduced in size so that two slightly different packs can be found, one with white borders, shown here and one without borders. In both cases the boxes are identical but he says the pack without borders fits the box "sloppily".
