we called it killer caps…
we called it killer caps on the Jersey side…me and my sisters loved that game..we had our mom paint it on our nice blacktop yard….I live in Colorado now and not one person I know or that I have met over the years ever heard of this game… yet we were entertained for hours…sometimes we put a board in the middle of the street in front of our grammar school…I remember filling my caps with crayons on the stove ..there was this little strip where the pilot light was ..I would put my cap on there add a penny or 2 for weight and then make cool designs with a nail while the crayon melted… melting crayons..this was as much fun as playing the game…ahh to be young again…now I will teach this game to my grand babies…thanks so much for this site..i thought the game was only in my head….nice to know I’m not wacko(well maybe just a little)
