The deck has 10 series of 15 cards, numbered 1 - 15. The game is similar to that of "Rummy". It is titled "Pang" because that is what the players should call out, if another player has forgotten to put a card in an already displayed series on the table.
The patience sized game was introduced in the salesmen's books in the 1930's.
