Directions for Playing the game

From Log Cabin to the White House

An entertaining and instructive game suitable for both young and old. This game is a chapter from everyday life, showing how right actions always tend upward, while wrong invariably leads to disgrace and poverty.

With a sharp knife or shears, cut out the tee-to-tum (piece in the corner with numbers on) and also cut out the round disks below it.

Make a spinning top of the tee-to-tum by inserting a small piece of wood (whittled to proper shape) through the center. The game is played by each person choosing a round disk and placing it in the Log Cabin corner. The players then spin the tee-to-tum in turn and move their disks accordingly. But no player can move his disk from the corner the first time until the tee-to-tum stops at 5, when he can spin again and move the number of squares the tee-to-tum indicates. When one player lands on a square occupied by another player, he sends first player back to Log Cabin again. If he lands on one of the lettered squares, he must follow the directions of that square. First player to reach the White House wins the game. This game may be played by from two to six persons.
