Rex's main interest was in card games, because, he said, they were cheap and easy to get hold of in his early days of collecting. He is well known for his extensive knowledge of Pepys games and his book is on the bookshelves of many.
His other interest was non-standard playing cards. He also had collections of sheet music, music CDs, models of London buses, London Transport timetables and maps and other objects that intrigued him.
Rex had a chequered career at school. He was expelled twice, on one occasion for smoking! Despite this he trained as a radio engineer and worked for the BBC in the World Service.
Later he moved into sales and worked for a firm that made all kinds of packaging, a job he enjoyed until his retirement. He became an expert on boxes and would always investigate those that held his cards. He could always recognize a box made for Pepys, which were the same as those of Alf Cooke’s Universal Playing Card Company, who printed the card games. This interest changed into an ability to make and mend boxes, which he did with great dexterity. He loved this kind of handicraft work.
His dexterity of hand and eye soon led to his making card games of his own design. He spent hours and hours carefully cutting them out and colouring them by hand.

Reviews for "Discover the Wonder of Orlando's Magic Village Yards"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with my stay at Magic Village Yards in Orlando, Florida. The rooms were not as clean as I expected, there were stains on the furniture and the carpets looked dirty. The staff was not very helpful or friendly either. The location was also not ideal, as it was quite far from the main attractions and it was difficult to find transportation. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.
2. Mike - 1 star - This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. The room I stayed in at Magic Village Yards was infested with bugs. I found several cockroaches crawling around the bathroom and even spotted a mouse in the kitchen area. The hotel management was unresponsive when I reported the issue and did not take any measures to rectify the situation. I could not wait to check out and find a different place to stay. Avoid this hotel at all costs!
3. Sarah - 3 stars - While the overall experience at Magic Village Yards was not terrible, there were some aspects that I found disappointing. The wifi in the rooms was very weak and unreliable, making it difficult to get any work done or even browse the internet. The noise level from the nearby highway was also quite high, making it difficult to sleep at night. On the plus side, the pool area was nice and the kitchenette in the room was well-equipped. However, I would recommend considering other options before booking a stay here.
