(Popular Edition).
Directions for playing the game.
The game is suitable for two, three, or four players.
Each player provides himself with counters (large and small) of a like colour, the large one being used as a “flipper” to propel the smaller counters. By pressing the large counter on the top of one of the smaller counters these latter can be propelled or “flicked” across the table—the distance depending on the degree of pressure used. The object'of the game is to “flick” the counters into the centre hole of the “Star” or upon the coloured discs. The scores for so doing are given over leaf.
NOTE:— A counter is considered upon a coloured disc if any part of the counter touches the disc.
The game is best prayed on a table (square or round) about three or four feet across and covered with a thick table cloth. The “Star” is placed in the centre of the table, one point of the star facing each player. The small counters are put in line at some given distance from the “Star.”
Each player’s colour is decided after the “Star” has been placed upon the table.
The players play simultaneously or they can if they prefer it play in turn.
After starting the counters as described each player continues to play from where his counters fall upon the table until one player succeeds in getting all his counters into or upon the star platform; as soon as this occurs play ceases and the score is reckoned, the player having the highest score being the winner[.]
Any counter knocked into the centre hole or on to one of the coloured discs by another counter of any colour is scored as if it had been propelled there directly by a player. Two counters touching one another upon the table may be separated to facilitate shooting either counter.
The Score is reckoned as follows
For every Counter in the centre hole score… 3
For every Counter upon its own colour disc score 1
For every Counter upon a disc of different colour deduct… … … 1
For every Counter upon the table or upon any other part of the star platform count … 0
Any number of rounds may constitute a game and scores should be recorded on paper.
