FOR SIX PLAYERS OR LESS.
THIS new and interesting game is played with counters and a cup.
Each player takes six amll counters of one colour which are called the Men; and one large counter, of a corresponding colour, which is called the "Spoof."
The cup called the Spoof Cup, is placed on the table, and at a distance therefrom (which is to be decided on by the players), called the Starting point, the men are to be Spoofed into this cup.
Each player plays the whole of the men at his turn. The one who gets the most men into the Spoof Cup, in an agreed number of times, wins the game.
The players play alternately, or sides can be arranged.
THE WAY TO SPOOF.
Place the man at the starting point; take the spoof between the thumb and forefinger, and then press the edge of the man with the spoof, the man will then shoot forwards. The amount of pressure applied to the spoof will regulat the flight of the man.
