I remember the board like…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on October 11, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 11, 1999

I remember the board like this: …………3………..5……….1 . …………7………..9……….8 . …………2………..6……….4 . . . . . . . . . . . ……………..———- ……………..start line . . There were 4 triangular boxes drawn around the 9 which was the “moat”. Does anyone remeber this board from their park? I would like some kind of confirmation, but I think I’m close enough. I plan on painting this board in my driveway before my kids outgrow the potentioal for playing. Thanks for the web site. Grape

New York: The Way It Was (The Bronx)

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on October 8, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsFebruary 2, 2019

Hi Grape, The WLIW documentary “New York: The Way It Was (The Bronx)” has brief footage of a 9-boxed skully board. As I recall, it was like the board in the rules I’ve written, but it had 1-2-3-4 in the corners, 5-6-7-8 along the edges (between the corners), and 9 in dead center, surrounded by some circular thing which, I presume, serves as the skull. If you have any further insight into “9-box Skully” (my new term!), please post them here! -Hugh M. McNally Skully Central discussion moderator
