Those of you who sent replies in regard to my question (with the exception of it possibly being a Beach Boys song) all have the same basic premise. That of guessing how many objects are in your opponent's hand and having to make up the difference between your guess and the actual number. My brother and I were taught the game by our father and grandfather. I don't know if it was in hopes of keeping us entertained, or for their own entertainment to see how long it would be before the objects were flying through the air AT the opposition. Thank you for responding. Phyllis
