In the 1950 era on P.E.I we had a game that we played on rainy days and when the teacher didn't let us play cards at lunch time. Each player would put down a row of numbers 1, to 0, or 10. We then put a line under that row all the way across, then another line from 1-0 about 1/2 inch below that. The next line went between the 1 and 2 down to 1/2 inch below the last line drawn then across to the 0 again.This was continued until you had all the lines in. you would end up with an angle with 1 square under the 1, 2 squares under the 2 ect until you had 10 squares under the 0. We would start the play with one player marking down a # making sure the other player could not see what you put down. The other player would then guess the #. If he failed you put the # in the proper place on your card and put another # down for to guess. If he guessed right he would put that # on his game card and you then took a turn guessing. It was really a good game when we were doing the Christmas concert thing. Al.
