There must be an old 9 box (with 4 trapezoid) skully board still around somewhere. If anyone finds one, please get exact dimensions. A photo would be great. “Thegrape”‘s diagram above is pretty close to what I remember. The dimensions of the boxes, the distance between them and the starting point are all key. Perhaps after we get the game layed out, we can work on finding some old bottle caps to melt crayons in. Hopefully then the rules will come back to us.

Hello from Ireland, …
Hello from Ireland, This may not be the most used part of the site but I will start anyway. I am trying to remember the rules for a game that kept me occupied for hours and would like to pass it on to my children. In Dublin we called it Snap the rasher. The gist of it was two teams facing each other across a road. In the middle (it was a quiet road) was the “rasher”, an object, one or other of the teams called a player from the other team . The two players ran out to the middle as fast as could be. The object was to “snap” the rasher and get back to your own side without being tagged by the other person. I have no idea how scoring, if any, was kept or how you decided who did the calling or who they called. Any help or thoughts on similar games in the US would be greatly appreciated. Stephen

Hi all you old timers, Just…
Hi all you old timers, Just Kidding. I’m a 22 year old student and bartender. Recently a customer of mine began talking about the old school yard games he used to play. In the conversation he asked me if I ever heard of a pensi pinky. Anyway, to make a long story short he asked if I could buy some off the internet. I said I would try, so if anyone knows where I met be able to order some on line please let me know at . You might help bring a smile to an old mans face. Thank You
